Sitka Mountain Jacket - anything new for 2025?

[barrister]

Has anyone heard if Sitka will be replacing the EVO Mountain Jacket that is being discontinued? I would love to see a hybrid between the last two versions of the Mountain Jacket. I'd start with the pre-EVO version, add a hood, and add the underarm breathability concept from the EVO (either the fabric of the EVO or a zipper). The non-windproof back of the EVO is what kept me from getting that version. I understand how that works for some. But, I would love a durable shell that isn't full raingear and isn't as heavy as the Jetstream.

Bumping this in case anyone has heard any Sitka updates at trade shows, etc. As noted, I’m interested if there is a replacement coming for the EVO Mountain jacket.
