Sitka Fanatic Jacket (Optifade Cover)
Description
The Fanatic Jacket is the total package for ultra-quiet warmth, utilizing the most advanced sound-suppressing fabric in the hunting world. Built with deadly quiet high-loft Berber fleece face, an ultra-quiet WINDSTOPPER® by GORE-TEX LABS Technology barrier for 100% windproof warmth and PrimaLoft® Silver Hi-Loft Ultra insulation for the coldest days in the stand. Body-mapped construction optimizes the draw cycle for bowstring clearance along with a reduction in bulk in the draw arm to minimize noise and keep your arrow flight true. The Constant-Connect SITKA® Safety Harness Port eliminates the need to disconnect from your harness when adding or subtracting layers. Hands down, this is the quietest hunting jacket on the planet.
Why SITKA made this:
SITKA found hunters were needing a fully-featured late-season jacket that could withstand cold winds while remaining ultra-silent. They set out to tackle this need and more with the Fanatic. They sound tested fabric compared to whitetail hearing engagement and netted out with a WINDSTOPPER® by GORE-TEX LABS barrier sandwiched between Berber fleece face fabric and Primaloft® Silver insulation. Because of their innovative diagonal-zip design, they were able to include a pass-through hand muff lined in Berber fleece for exceptional warmth. To round out the design, they added functional pockets for a rangefinder and grunt tube that flank the diagonal zipper for quick at-hand needs.
