SITKA Arrowhead, 3-Piece Wet Weather Protective System

Thursday, May 12th, 2022

Showcasing at SOFIC 2022 – Booth #1823

Design DNA

SITKA Gear’s purpose-built and engineered approach to design has in the past attracted the SOF community to its Wet Weather Protective solutions, notably the Cloudburst and Dewpoint systems.

SITKA Arrowhead combines proven STIKA Gear engineered designs, with Gore-Tex fabric solutions, to create a Wet Weather Protective (WWP) 3-piece system that can be relied upon to withstand and perform in the harshest environments.

WWP Jacket – MDW

WWP Pant – MDW

WWP Half Bib Pant – MDW

Principle Materials

GORE® GTX 3L 40d Nylon Ripstop with DWR (Durable Waterproof Repellency) is a durable, waterproof and breathable materials solution created for adverse and extreme wet weather conditions. This unique laminate solution keeps the end-user dry and comfortable, thus enabling them to perform effectively during a mission cycle. GORE-TEX fabrics are engineered to meet the highest level of protection, comfort, and durability.

YKK® USA AquaGuard® Water Repellent Zippers have a polyurethane film coating that helps shed water from the zipper opening. A DWR treatment to the polyester tape side increases the surface tension and adds an extra level of protection to prevent water leaking through. These no-fail zippers are strong, have a smooth operation and can be relied upon to withstand the harsh environments that our WWP products are designed for.

Trelleborg HANK™ 10oz is a flexible and extremely light weight High Abrasion Neoprene Kevlar (HANK), that belies the fabrics exceptional durability and waterproofness. Always focused on best-in-class materials to meet SITKA Arrowhead purpose-built design principles, the WWP Pant and Half Bib Pant MDW include reinforced insteps made with HANK™.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: NEW Halifax Jacket

Friday, April 15th, 2022

A tip of the hat to its namesake, the Halifax Gibbet (guillotine), this “headless” or hoodless Wind Cheater has all the essential features covered. Soft and quiet with a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish, it breathes like a T-shirt, sheds wind, and dries very quickly.

• Ultralight breathable shell
• Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Finish
• Hoodless
• Made in USA

This is not a rain proof jacket, but it will shed some moisture thanks to the DWR coating and will dry very quickly. Great compression and features bungees at the bottom to cinch the jacket tightly. A longer tail in the back is perfect for range days and keeping you out of the elements.

It has sleek, large bicep pockets that will fit your essentials. The Halifax Jacket is “true to fit”, your t-shirt size is your jacket size. If you wear a large shirt and don’t plan to layer heavily underneath, go with a large Halifax Jacket. The sizing is also identical to our popular Wind Cheater jacket.

Available now in black and manatee! https://www.first-spear.com/halifax-jacket
