SITKA Alpha Fleece Hooded Jacket – Durable, Water-Repellent Mid-Layer in Optifade Subalpine (Large Tall)

Overview

The SITKA Alpha Fleece Hooded Jacket is built for serious outdoor use, offering a durable, versatile mid-layer that flexes with you through rugged terrain. Crafted from 280-gram, 4-way stretch STORMFLEECE, this jacket blends strength with movement-friendly comfort, ideal for hunters and adventurers who push into brush, wind, and elevation.
