As we all know, spring turkey season weather can be unpredictable, and sometimes downright miserable. From snow to sleet, to rain, fog, wind, heat and humidity — Mother Nature can keep turkey hunters and meteorologists guessing throughout April and May every year. The Dew Point Jacket and Pants are SITKA Gear’s answers to the rainy, soggy days that come during turkey season.
Both the jacket and pants are built around three-layer GORE-TEX waterproof/breathable fabric for lightweight, waterproof protection in volatile weather. Minimalist construction features include 20-denier nylon ripstop face with soft GORE® C-KNIT® backer technology for breathable comfort and packability. Plus, the micro-taped seams provide weather protection with minimal bulk, and they’re cut to accommodate added layers for changing temperatures and weather conditions.
The Dew Point Jacket offers pit zips for expelling heat and zippered pockets that are accessible while wearing a pack belt and a binocular harness. In addition, its integrated drop-away adjustable hood deploys when you need it, and the adjustable hem and cuffs ensure a snug fit when the wind and rain hit the hardest.
The Dew Point Pant is constructed with two-way side zips for easy on/off and venting, and an articulated fit that won’t tug when you’re navigating rough country or hiking in the rain. Its adjustable nylon web belt helps keep everything in place when the rain won’t quit.
If you’re not sure what the weather will do while you’re out in the turkey woods, this rain gear rolls up and packs tightly to fit in a turkey vest or daypack, so you can always have it along for a backup plan if the skies darken and downpours happen without warning.
Available in Optifade Subalpine camo, Optifade Open Country camo, Sitka Black, and the newly released Deep Lichen camo/color options.
MSRP: Jacket, $349.00; Pant, $329.00
