Got a little extra cash for some new gear. For late treestand hunting, and I carry all my outer clothes in and get dressed in my stand, which do you think?? Kuiu Axis Hybrid or the Sitka Fanatic??

Assuming the same core layers. And I don’t hunt in the rain.

Anybody have some experience with this jacket. Can’t find many reviews on it.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing? I’m not sure why manufactures have to use noisy synthetics but I’d love to have a puffy that is quiet and still lightweight.

Are these the same material, weight, etc? Hard to tell from the Sitka website. Looking for something to layer over a crewneck baselayer and possibly 1/4 zip for hunting 40 – 50 F temperature wise. Or just over a baselayer when it gets around 60 F out.

Also, how well do these jackets block the wind? Not wild about the Stratus jacket or layout of Fanatic Lite. I have the Stratus Vest, it does OK for these conditions.

If you have used both, which is warmer, quieter, more durable? Before anyone jumps all over me because this subject has been beaten to death, I did a search for Celsius vs. Cirrus and it returned 0 results. So back off. 🙂

I wanted to share my review here of the Sitka Fanatic Jacket and how I pair it with the Tool Bucket.

Thanks for watching.

All,
I just purchased the Fanatic Jacket and bibs (not the fanatic lite). My goal is to have a system which I can wear from late October into mid November (temps from 40F-mid 20s). I do get slightly colder than most and have been known to wear heavier stuff than my friends. I would like to purchase a mid layer. My options are things like the Celsius shacket, the celcius jacket, the Fanatic hoody or the fanatic vest. I purchased a xxl Fanatic Jacket and bibs in order to have some room to layer. As an FYI I am not worried about bulk in the arms as by the time it is that cold I am no longer using a bow which is why I’m highly considering the Fanatic Hoody or the Celsius Jacket which will give me an additional outside piece if I would like to use them as that. thoughts?

Looking for a mid to late season jacket (minnesota) and would like to keep it around 150 or so. It’d be great if it had a safety harness cutout and wasn’t overly bulky. I just don’t have 400+ to spend on sitka.

Recommendations?
