Sitka Stratus 2.0

[KoolBreeze]

I noticed the stratus system is the stratus 2.0 on Sitka’s website. Anyone know what the differences are? Nothing really stood out to me other than the price increase.

Probably just new PFAS free DWR/membrane so they can sell in CA/NY

Chest pockets laid out like the fanatic is about it

Read the description. See no reason to “upgrade” to the 2.0. PFAS free and different chest pocket configuration does not justify significant price increase. Stick with what you have.

The biggest upgrade looks to be to the pants and bibs with a burr resistant fabric on the lower legs.

I know we knew Sitka was going to increase prices but $400 for what the Stratus is absolutely insane to me…

anyone know if they are updating the incinerator line as well? They've had them on discount and I wanted to order a set for this year but my size has been out of stock forever............

Only thing I see as a major difference really is in the description of the 2.0 it says:
7/8 length side zippers allow you to ventilate your legs on long hikes and offer easy on and off without removing your boots

I don't think the older ones had that did they ?
I had some stratus pants years ago, and sold them because you could not dump heat with any leg vents.
