Have only had the chance to wear this out once. When I first put it on, I “brushed” off some burrs on my pants, none of which stuck to the jacket/material.

The one time I wore it out was scouting recently wearing the AV, t-shirt, and thicker wool shirt and was comfortable for the mile or so hike. I live in NW OH so everything is pretty flat and it was in the 20s so was comfortable throughout.

The layout of the jacket is great. Doesn’t have as many pockets as another jacket I have, but that is not a negative. The other jacket has more pockets than are necessary.

I am 6’3” 275# and the xl tall fit great. Sleeves were just long enough to the wrist and had a bit of a taper.

Jacket was quiet even with the hood up.

This jacket uses Primaloft Active, which is touted as very new for Sitka Ambient line. I really like both companies, but I don't think most people realize how much technology Pnuma is putting into some of their products and how ahead this jacket is. This jacket has a very durable shell, which I found to be great at blocking wind as well as resisting damage with thru bushes as I work my way to my chosen tree for whitetail hunting. It can take a beating yet still wick away moisture from my inner layers. The importance of this is that I only have to add additional layers versus replacing layers at my stand. I chose a solid color, which allows me to also use this around town. I hunt whitetail in MN down into the lower teens. This jacket is very versatile at a fraction of the cost compared to competitor products.

I bought this in an XL Tall, I'm 6'8 260 and it fits great. They gave this a much lower temp rating than I would have. I would say down to 45 this Jacket is the best option. Below that you'll need to layer and size up. I used this jacket in combination with another outfits jacket when the tamp was 7 and worked fine. Only complaint is the breast pocket is a little tiny to fit the larger cell phones.

Love the thing into this mid layer. It is completely windproof. Excellent made jacket by Pnuma!

Absolutely the most comfortable hunting anything I have ever worn !! Please keep improving your great hunting clothing!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!

I was extremely pleased with the Alpha Vextex jacket as well as the pants for our spring turkey season. The material is quiet and light weight. I pair it with the merino wool base layer. I haven’t used it for early season archery, but expect the same good results.
