Is the Thunderhead Jacket worth the price?

It is worth it if you hunt in wet, brushy terrain and need a quiet GORE-TEX shell that lasts. If you mostly hunt dry, mild conditions, a cheaper softshell covers most trips.

How does it compare to Sitka's other jackets?

The Thunderhead is the quiet GORE-TEX shell for archery and wet weather. Sitka's insulated jackets add warmth but weigh more and are louder.

Is it warm enough on its own?

No. It is an uninsulated shell, so pair it with a base layer and a midlayer for cold hunts.

What sizes are available?

It comes in men's Medium through 2XL, with chest sizing up to roughly 54–57 inches on the largest size. Check the size chart before ordering.

The jacket only. Base layers, midlayers and pants are sold separately.

Sitka gear tends to discount in late winter and around end-of-season sales. Compare store prices and price history before buying.

Our take on the Sitka Gear Thunderhead Jacket

The Sitka Thunderhead is a men's waterproof hunting shell built from 3-layer GORE-TEX with GORE OPTIFADE Subalpine concealment. It is designed as a quiet outer layer for archery season and cold-weather layering, with zippered pockets, a full front zip and Velcro-adjustable cuffs. The mid-length cut keeps it packable and out of the way when you draw. It is a premium shell, so shoppers should compare current pricing across stores before buying.
