Sitka Gear Core Lightweight Hoody has been redesigned with a few improvements. This lightweight layer has quick-drying knit that actively wicks moisture away from the skin, helping to keep you cool during changing conditions and activity levels. The built-in ultra-breathable mesh face mask can be deployed for quick concealment, and works as a neck gaiter when heading to your glassing point. As the temperature rises, the low-profile hood and mask serve as great protection from annoying mosquitoes. The drop-tail design helps fight off moisture and sun, while the stretch thumb loops keep the sleeves in place while drawing back a bow, or putting on additional layers.

TECHNOLOGY

Polygiene Odor Control Technology is a natural fit for hunting. By permanently treating fabrics with low concentrations of silver salt, which has inherent antimicrobial properties and is naturally present in water, Polygiene safely eliminates the ability for bacteria to grow and effectively neutralizes odor.

Sitka Gear uses premium YKK Zippers across their product line for their reliability, durability, weather resistance, and quiet operation. They also print many of their zippers with GORE OPTIFADE Concealment for added stealth.

Traditional mimicry patterns based on human vision are designed to look like a specific type of vegetation or terrain. GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is the only scientifically proven concealment pattern based on animal vision to optically fade a hunter into their surroundings. By using advanced blends of micro and macro patterns to fool animal vision rather than mimic a particular shape, GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is more versatile and more effective at getting hunters close to game.

SITKA DESIGN NOTES

Sitka Gear found that the majority of base layers offered zero technical features, requiring hunters to carry additional pieces of gear into the field to meet the demands of the pursuit. Sitka's solution was to create a high-performance next-to-skin layer that includes technical features to improve concealment and utility. By optimizing breathability and moisture management and adding features not found in traditional base layers, the Core Lightweight Hoody can be used as a standalone piece in hot weather or as the foundational baselayer into any SITKA system.
