What Happened to Sitka?

[texag10]

I seem to remember a euro-only sitka pattern that looks like the new one. I think one shot gear had a big sale on it several years back.

Wasn't it called Optifade Forest or something like that? It was a dark green base?

edit: Optifade Ground Forest.

My only hope: Sitka's new leadership and bean-counters listen to John Barklow, and let him do what he's best at.

It looks like Sitka is going the retail clothing route. I’m seeing ads for a store opening here in Ohio.

My guess is a number of challenges at Sitka. Increasing competition from KUIU and FL. Sitka is moving to a DTC model would be my guess.

I just posted this in the other Thread (Sitka Drama), but is probably more relevant here:

I have a feeling Sitka will have some new and also some updated designs this spring. I just saw a couple pics of Cole Kramer wearing some sitka pants that had knee pads on the outside of the pant similar to what KUIU has. Also saw what looked like the Timberline pant with hip vents.

I wear all the brand, but I have a feeling Sitka isn't going anywhere and as long as Barklow is there they will remain top of the heap for Western hunting.
