Sitka Women’s Fahrenheit Jacket
Thursday, October 28th, 2021The other day I was perusing Sitka’s website after receiving a marketing email, when my wife peered over my shoulder and said, hey, what’s that?
I replied that it was a new jacket for women called the Fahrenheit. The reply came swiftly, “Sitka? You mean that Arrowhead stuff?” And I clarified that Sitka had been around for years and made some of the hunting clothing I had picked up on post-season sale at Dick’s over the years. After a bit of wrangling to get her to understand that Sitka was more than camouflage gear for hunting game and bad guys, she told me that she liked the look of the Fahrenheit.
It’s designed specifically for women and uses some of the best materials on the market for a day outdoors in cool conditions. The shell is GORE-TEX INFINIUM with WINDSTOPPER Technology paired with PrimaLoft insulation, mapped for moisture management with a down blend in the torso and fully synthetic insulation throughout the forearms.
She looked over the color options and prefers Black, but it’s also offered in Hawk (shown), Aegean Blue, and Waterfowl Marsh camouflage for the ladies who go hard in the paint and hunt for their food.
Sizes Small – XLarge (Operational colors also add XXL).

PDW Stratus Down Hoodie
Tuesday, October 26th, 2021
Prometheus Design Werx introduces their state-of-the-art Stratus Down Hoodie for Fall-Winter 2021. Featuring a unique stitch-less baffle construction to reduce weight and bulk, stretch 20D shell, and premium hydrophobic 800 fill power goose down. The Stratus Down Hoodie packs down small for trail to travel, has an excellent warmth to weight ratio, and cut to fit under outerwear. The Dupont treated, water repellent, premium 800 fill power goose down is 27 X more water resistant than untreated down, so this hoodie retains its thermal properties even if dunked or wet. Design details include an integrated stuff-sack storage camp pillow and detachable travel neck pillow, 4 pockets, internally routed bottom cinch, a cozy brushed hood liner, and a 20D nylon shell with stretch, DWR and Dupont Silvadur anti-microbial treatment.
The Stratus Down Hoodie is a part of Prometheus Design Werx’s PRO-Line of technical apparel.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“The Stratus Down Hoodie is best in class. We sourced and used the best in this goose down mid-layer as a follow up to our hooded Tycho model from 2019. We custom milled this unique stretch nylon with stitch-less baffles for our shell, making this jacket one of the few on the market that possess these performance characteristics for unparalleled comfort, movement and reduction in bulk in any down garment. There is nothing lighter, warmer and more compressible than a down mid-layer. Down mid-layers allow the user to be unencumbered by excess weight; when not being used, they pack down smaller than any other technical mid-layer and can be easily stowed in a pack. We continue to use a Dupont treated goose down fill, which is 27 times more resistant to water. It will survive an accidental dunk and still insulate. While down jackets were never intended to be used as rain wear, the Stratus will allow the user ample time to shrug off the first minutes of rainfall to grab a waterproof shell to wear over and not lose its insulating capabilities. It’s the quality of make and design details that makes our goose down mid-layer a cut above the rest. We used premium 800 fill power goose down for its high loft, is RDS certified, a DWR shell with anti-microbial Dupont Silvadur treatment, cozy brushed tricot hood liner, and expanded capabilities with its integrated camp pillow and detachable travel neck pillow.”
Available in Mission Gray, and Outpost Blue.
The Stratus Down Hoodie will be available for purchase for $289.00 on Wednesday, October 27th, 2021 at 12:00pm PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
