Some gear earns your trust the hard way. The Sitka Dewpoint rain jacket is one of those pieces for me. I’ve used the Dewpoint since 2013, and in that time it has been tested across a wide range of conditions and activities — from eight sheep hunts in Alaska to mountain biking, hiking, rifle hunting, bow hunting, fishing, and daily wear during wet seasons. It has also seen use in places as different as Idaho, Washington, Puerto Rico, and Mississippi, which says a lot

Sitka Jetstream LT Jacket Review

I have had the Sitka Jetstream LT jacket since fall of 2025. Below is my take on it..... Soft shells are one of those pieces that tend to live in the gray area of gear systems. They are rarely perfect, often misunderstood, and frequently misused. When matched correctly to the pursuit, however, a good soft shell can be one of the most worn and trusted items in a kit. The Sitka Jetstream LT falls squarely into this category. If you

I grew up a rifle a hunter, and doubt I will ever fully be a bow hunter only. I do however thoroughly enjoy archery and am working hard to integrate it more into my hunting choices. What I love about archery is that I can do it all year long. Many a night is spent just slinging arrows in the garage. Its a peaceful, relaxing, hobby that is just plain old enjoyable. As I have progressed in my archery journey,
