Detailed Description

The Sitka Thunderhead Jacket stands out in the world of outdoor outerwear thanks to its smart design and field-tested performance. Built for unpredictable weather, it uses a 3-layer GORE-TEX® shell that keeps rain and wind out while allowing moisture to escape, so you stay dry from both outside and inside. The brushed outer fabric reduces noise, making it ideal for hunting scenarios where silence is critical. This isn’t just a rain jacket — it’s a tactical layer built for real-world conditions.

What makes this jacket especially effective is its ergonomic fit. With articulated elbows and shoulders, it moves with you, whether you’re climbing, reaching, or drawing your bow. The adjustable hood fits securely over a cap or beanie, and the laminated brim helps channel rain away from your face. The two zippered hand pockets are placed high to stay accessible when wearing a backpack or harness, and the internal chest pocket is perfect for stashing your phone or license.

Available in multiple camo patterns, including Optifade Subalpine and Open Country, the Thunderhead blends into diverse environments. It’s not just about looking like a pro — it’s about staying comfortable and concealed. Whether you’re hiking through morning fog or enduring a sudden downpour, this jacket adapts to your needs. It’s also lightweight enough to pack down when the sun comes out, making it a versatile choice for multi-day trips.
