SITKA Alpha Fleece Hooded Jacket – Durable 4-Way Stretch Fleece, Water-Repellent Mid-Layer for Rugged Outdoors | Optifade Waterfowl | X-Large

Rugged comfort for demanding outdoors

The SITKA Alpha Fleece Hooded Jacket is designed as a versatile mid-layer that blends hard-wearing fabric with flexible movement. Built with 280-gram, 4-way stretch double weave STORMFLEECE, it delivers lasting durability while staying comfortable through long approaches, stalks, and hikes. This combination supports a full range of motion, so you can twist, reach, and maneuver without feeling restricted.

In light-weather conditions, a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish helps shed light moisture, helping you stay comfortable as clouds drift and temperatures shift. The result is a layer you can rely on when the sky looks uncertain but your plans stay the same: push forward, stay warm, stay focused.

Thoughtful design for pack wear

The jacket features seamless shoulder construction to minimize irritation when worn under a pack, making it a solid companion for long days in the field or on the trail. When you need quick access to gear, multiple zippered pockets keep essentials secure and within reach.

• Two zippered hand pockets provide secure storage for small items and quick hands-free access.
• An internal zippered chest pocket keeps valuables safe and accessible without adding bulk.

Breathable warmth that moves with you

Mesh-backed pockets enhance ventilation, helping to manage heat buildup during active pursuits. The hood is low-profile and form-fitting, offering warmth and protection without obscuring your peripheral vision—perfect for spotting, tracking, and navigating uneven terrain.

Versatility in one layer

Designed as part of a layering system, this mid-layer pairs well with base layers and outer shells for hunting, hiking, and other outdoor activities. The Optifade Waterfowl variant blends into natural surroundings while delivering reliable warmth and protection in a range of conditions.
