As colder days approach, it’s becoming more important to set up your layering system when venturing into the outdoors for long hours at a time. The Mountain Evo jacket from Sitka is the pinnacle of lightweight versatility. This piece is designed to handle extended periods of physical activity, while offering both protection from the elements and excellent breathability to prevent overheating. With so many other jackets on the market that cause overheating with too much waterproofing this model really excels at regulating your body temperature with various strategically placed vents.

Originally designed for hunters who are used to covering lots of ground throughout their day, the Mountain Evo is also great for those going on long treks, early morning jogs or just kicking back at your campsite. With Gore-Tex WINDSTOPPER® technology and a generous four-way stretch fabric, this jacket is more than capable of being a great standalone piece or can be used as a mid-layer when temperatures dip near freezing. In summary, if you’re looking for a top-tier, easily packable lightweight jacket that keeps you dry across a range of conditions, the Mountain Evo is worth checking out.—Peter Matlashewski, Men's Journal contributor
