The new women’s Hudson jacket and bibs have several integral features designed by women for comfort and ease of use.
The popular outdoor clothing company Sitka has announced it’s new releases for the upcoming year, adding new lines and updating and enhancing others. One of the most unique innovations is a line of women’s waterfowl clothing, starting out with thirteen items that were engineered and designed by women with comfort and functionality in mind. Noteworthy items include the Hudson jacket and bibs.
The stretch technology incorporated into the shoulders of the women’s Hudson jacket.
The jacket features body-mapped insulation on the shoulders and back with three-layer GORE-TEX laminate for waterproofing and stretch technology for ease of movement while swinging a shotgun or moving around a blind. The bibs have full-length side zippers that create the option of dropping the seat without having to pull the bibs down.
Hudson bibs and jacket in Waterfowl-Marsh camouflage come in sizes XS-2XL with an MSRP $499.00 a piece.
Sitka has also improved upon their line of Fanatic deer hunting clothing, switching to a quieter version of the original fabric that has the camo pattern “cyber knit” knitted into the fabric instead of printed on for more washes without fading. They’ve improved the lower leg of the bibs as well by adding burr-resistant material to cut down on time spent cleaning up clothes after a day of hunting.
Fanatic bibs in Elevated II camouflage come in sizes S-3XL, and tall sizes- M-XL, with an MSRP $439.00.

In 2018 Sitka came out with the Mountain Hauler 6200 pack, it was an immediate hit and this year they followed up by expanding the line into a 2700 and 4000 option. The 2700 is made in a men’s and a women’s pack and can carry up to 45 pounds comfortably. The 4000 is a universal fit and is rated up to 150 pounds.
