When Sitka introduced the original Jetstream Jacket more than fifteen years ago, it quickly became the benchmark for mountain hunting softshells. Built to tame relentless winds while breathing during high-output climbs, the Jetstream embodied a new standard of technical performance for hunters who demand more from their gear. Season after season, guides and backcountry hunters came to rely on its quiet face fabric, versatile fit, and all-day comfort. Over time, the Jetstream name expanded to vests, gloves, and beanies—each designed around the same promise of total windproof protection in a mobile, hunt-ready package.

The Next Chapter: Jetstream 2025 — What’s Improved

For 2025, Sitka didn’t scrap a classic—they refined it. The new Jetstream line retains its windproof DNA while dialing in improvements based on real-world feedback. Here’s what’s new:

Advanced Materials. Sitka upgraded the face fabric to a next-generation stretch polyester that is quieter, more durable, and sheds light precipitation more effectively. The inner micro-grid fleece layer is lofted to trap more warmth while still allowing moisture to escape, boosting the warmth-to-weight ratio.

Targeted Reinforcements. In the key wear zones—shoulders, elbows, cuffs—Sitka added reinforcement panels built to resist abrasion from pack straps, rifle slings, and brush. These reinforcements preserve durability without bulk.

Refined Fit and Mobility. Hunters will notice more ergonomic cuts in the 2025 versions. Articulated sleeves, a slightly longer rear hem, and improved drape enhance coverage and freedom of movement whether drawing a bow, shouldering a rifle, or scrambling over rugged terrain.

Expanded Options. The 2025 collection offers more ways to customize your kit:

• Jetstream LT Jacket — a lean, ultralight variant that delivers full windproof protection in a simplified, weight-conscious build.

• Gloves & Beanies — The Jetstream WS Glove and HD WS Glove bring WINDSTOPPER® membranes together with leather palms, lofted liners, and touchscreen-capable fingertips. The WS Beanie and Insulated WS Beanie provide low-profile windproof warmth head-to-toe.

• Women’s-Specific Fit — With Women’s Jetstream Jacket, Vest, and Beanie, Sitka now offers a version of the line engineered specifically for female hunters’ proportions and performance needs.
  
  

Why the Evolution Matters

At its core, the Jetstream is still about one thing: blocking wind while letting you move freely in demanding terrain. But gear can’t stay stagnant. The 2025 updates show Sitka listening to its user base—improving quietness, durability, weight, and fit—without losing the legendary performance that made the Jetstream a staple.

Whether you pick the classic Jacket for all-around performance, the LT for fast-and-light missions, the Vest for layering flexibility, or the matching gloves and beanies to complete a windproof system, the entire 2025 Jetstream line works together to give you that edge in the weather.

Gear evolution isn’t just about novelty. It’s about refining essentials. With the new Jetstream line, Sitka continues a legacy built on one simple goal: conquer the wind so you don’t have to.
