#CLOUDBURST CLOTHING PLUS#
The GORE-TEX membrane and welded seams also worked well to block the wind as I sat atop a hill glassing bucks. I might have been muddy and frustrated, but I was lucky to be warm and dry, unlike many of the other people I ran into out hunting that weekend. I stayed comfortable in my rain gear as I walked through wet waist high sage brush and might have taken a slide down the hill.
The last weekend of Colorado mule deer hunting was windy and rainy, so I was finally able to put my rain gear to the test. I wore my Sitka Cloudburst jacket nearly every morning during the fall mule deer archery season to insulate my base layers. With a little wind and rain, I was impressed with how comfortable I was sleeping out in the elements. It was about 40 degrees at night and I slept in my hammock. The first time I wore the Cloudburst system, I was camping with some friends up in the mountains. The sleeve and pant lengths are both a great fit. It is a little large for me, but I can put it on over almost any of my other layers if I get caught out in some precipitation or wind. In Sitka gear, I wear an XS, but knowing that I typically layer, I went with the S so that I would have room. I have worn it in the rain, wind, mud, snow, marsh, mountain, and plain. I have put the Sitka Cloudburst rain system through the ringer and have not found it lacking. I wanted new rain gear for many reasons, but it really comes down to this, when hunting it nearly always rains or snows or blows. Pit zips meshed with hand pocket zippers.Sitka describes their Cloudburst rain system as a GORE-TEX membrane having the following features: The first thing I planned to buy was rain gear. This deal is 40% off anything in the Sitka line in my size.
#CLOUDBURST CLOTHING PRO#
I had been hearing great things about the Sitka women’s clothing line, so I was very excited to win a Pro Deal discount at the Alpha Bowhunting Challenge. Most companies think that small means short, so for someone who wears a small with a 32-inch inseam and 31-inch sleeve length, I am often disappointed. The quest for hunting clothing that fits is like a roller coaster, excitement for the prospect of new companies and disappointment when it doesn’t fit. I realize that as women we are a small subset of the hunting community and that while it is coming, often spending a good deal of money on clothing that doesn’t fit is frustrating. One thing that you will hear most women hunters complain about is the available options for hunting clothing.
