You Asked, Sitka Listened: Introducing the All-New Dew Point Pro Jacket

For years, Sitka’s Dew Point Jacket has been a go-to for backcountry hunters needing lightweight, packable protection from the elements. But for those who push deeper, hunt harder, and demand more from their outerwear, Sitka just raised the bar.

The all-new Dew Point Pro Jacket is here—and it’s Sitka’s most rugged waterproof shell to date. Built with serious mountain hunters and hardcore guides in mind, the Dew Point Pro combines the proven waterproof performance of GORE-TEX with upgraded durability and field-tested features that set it apart from the original.

Here’s what makes the Dew Point Pro a game-changer—and why it might just be the last rain jacket you ever need to buy.

Upgraded Durability: 75D Ripstop Exterior

The original Dew Point was known for its featherweight performance, but that lightweight 20-denier face fabric could be vulnerable in the nastiest terrain. The Dew Point Pro solves that with a 75-denier polyester ripstop face—a major upgrade in abrasion resistance.

This thicker fabric doesn’t just add toughness; it gives hunters the confidence to push through alder-choked drainages, crawl through rock outcroppings, and hike through thorny brush without worrying about shredding their shell.

GORE-TEX Tricot Backer: Waterproof, Breathable, and Quiet

Like its predecessor, the Dew Point Pro uses GORE-TEX 3-layer waterproof technology, but with a new twist—Sitka swapped in a GORE Tricot backer, which improves next-to-skin comfort and reduces interior cling during high-output hikes.

This system is 100% waterproof, windproof, and breathable, making it ideal for everything from early-season storms to late-season blizzards. And despite its tougher build, the jacket remains surprisingly quiet, making it a top choice for bowhunters or anyone getting in close.

Field-Ready Features for Serious Use

The Dew Point Pro is packed with functional upgrades hunters will appreciate:

• Two-way pit zips for ventilation during long climbs

• Dual-entry chest and hand pockets that remain accessible while wearing a pack or bino harness

• Drop-tail hem for added protection when glassing or kneeling

• Articulated hood with brim to keep visibility clear when the rain sets in
  
  

These features are designed with experience. Whether you're sidehilling steep slopes in the Rockies or hunkering down during a mid-day squall, the Dew Point Pro keeps you dry without sacrificing mobility or access to your gear.

Sustainable Performance: GORE EPE Laminate

In a nod to sustainability, the Dew Point Pro incorporates GORE’s new expanded polyethylene (EPE) membrane—a more environmentally responsible evolution of GORE-TEX. It offers the same industry-leading protection with a reduced environmental footprint, part of Sitka’s ongoing effort to reduce waste and emissions in their manufacturing.

Who Is It For?

If your hunts take you into remote, rugged country where the weather turns in an instant—and your gear has to perform—the Dew Point Pro is for you.

It’s ideal for:

• Western big game hunters

• Guides operating in extreme terrain

• Late-season whitetail and elk hunters

• Anyone who’s worn through lightweight rain gear in a single season
  
  

Final Thoughts

The Dew Point Pro isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a full-on evolution of Sitka’s rain system. While the original Dew Point still has a place in the ultralight hunter’s pack, the Pro version is built for those who need more: more durability, more protection, and more confidence when the weather turns wild.

Now in stock at 1 Shot Gear, the Dew Point Pro is ready to meet the challenge—wherever your next hunt takes you.
