From an idea spawned deep in the backcountry, Sitka Gear has grown to be an elite trendsetter in high-performance hunting clothing. After a 3000 vertical feet climb in darkness and snow flurries Sitka founders realized there was a need for high-performance hunting clothing. From that one moment Sitka was officially founded in 2005 and the work began. Drawing on strong backgrounds in the climbing, mountaineering, and general head strong assaults of the backcountry, expertise and experience where focused on bridging the gaps that existed between these endeavors. Sitka’s driving goal was not only to bridge the technology gaps that existed from a fabric, construction, and product form perspective, but to fully immerse themselves in driving new technologies and solutions for the modern outdoorsman.
