Scent Control and Cold-Weather Insulation Built for the Sit

The 2019 Sitka Gear Fanatic Hoody is a season-proven mid-layer built around heavyweight comfort stretfleece that moves with your draw cycle. Sitka's Permanent Polygiene Odor Control Technology keeps your scent contained on extended sits, while the channeled construction pulls moisture away from your base layer. A built-in face mask deploys quietly, the drop tail blocks cold drafts when glassing, and flip-over hand mitts seal out the wind. This rugged hoody is athletically cut to eliminate bulk and keep your bowstring clear for a complete wilderness-grade whitetail system.

Field-Tested Scent Control That Survives Day 10

Field-Tested Scent Control That Survives Day 10

The enemy isn't a bad hoody — it's the insulation that feels warm on the first morning of a November sit and turns into a sweat-soaked scent bomb by day three. Sitka's Permanent Polygiene Odor Control Technology is built into the heavyweight comfort stretfleece at the fiber level, not sprayed on and washed out. The channeled construction pulls moisture away from your skin while you're climbing into a stand or still-hunting through timber. This is gear that earns its spot — field-tested across multiple whitetail seasons in forested environments where every degree of scent management matters when a mature buck is working downwind at 40 yards.

Built for the Draw Cycle, Not the Couch

Built for the Draw Cycle, Not the Couch

The athletic cut eliminates the bulk that sends your bowstring into your sleeve at the moment of truth. Heavyweight comfort stretfleece — 93% polyester, 7% elastane — moves with your body whether you're drawing on a whitetail at 20 yards or glassing a cut block for hours. The low-profile hood is cut for maximal peripheral vision, so you catch movement without turning your head and snapping a twig. Flip-over hand mitts add warmth without the weight of separate gloves, and the drop tail design seals out cold air creeping up your back during long sits on a treestand platform. Season-proven construction for hunters who don't leave the woods when the temperature drops.

Rugged Layering Inside the Full Fanatic System

Rugged Layering Inside the Full Fanatic System

The Fanatic Hoody is the core insulation piece of Sitka's 2019 whitetail system, designed to pair with the Fanatic Bib, Jacket, Vest, and Pack for cold-weather coverage in forested environments. The built-in face mask uses quick-dry stretch mesh — 88% polyester, 12% elastane — that deploys in seconds when the wind shifts and tucks away when you don't need it. As a mid-layer, the athletic cut layers cleanly under a shell without restricting movement or adding bulk that slows you down. Every element serves a specific purpose in the stand. No filler features — just trail-ready insulation for whitetail hunters who spend long hours in cold conditions.

“Wore this hoody for seven straight days of November sits in northern Wisconsin. The Polygiene made a real difference — I wasn't the scent bomb I usually am by day three. Face mask deployed fast when I needed it, and the drop tail kept the cold out during those 4-hour morning sits. Fits true under my Fanatic Bib. This is the hoody I reach for every time the temperature drops below freezing.”

TECHNOLOGY

POLYGIENE

Polygiene Odor Control Technology is a natural fit for hunting. By permanently treating fabrics with low concentrations of silver salt, which has inherent antimicrobial properties and is naturally present in water, Polygiene safely eliminates the ability for bacteria to grow and effectively neutralizes odor.

YKK ZIPPERS

Sitka Gear uses premium YKK Zippers across their product line for their reliability, durability, weather resistance, and quiet operation. They also print many of their zippers with GORE OPTIFADE Concealment for added stealth.

GORE OPTIFADE CONCEALMENT

Traditional mimicry patterns based on human vision are designed to look like a specific type of vegetation or terrain. GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is the only scientifically proven concealment pattern based on animal vision to optically fade a hunter into their surroundings. By using advanced blends of micro and macro patterns to fool animal vision rather than mimic a particular shape, GORE OPTIFADE Concealment is more versatile and more effective at getting hunters close to game.

SITKA DESIGN NOTES

Whitetail hunters need quiet, durable and odor-resistant protection. Traditional outerwear isn’t as silent as advertised and lacks technical and intuitive hunting features. Sitka’s approach was to build a mid-layfleece insulation piece that could be versatile enough to be worn as outerwear in the early season or layered into a system for all seasons. Sitka Gear used Polygiene Odor Control Technology to minimize scent. A half-zip construction allows for quickly dumping heat and room for the built-in hand muff, and integrated flip-over hand mitts keep fingers warm and agile for the moment of truth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sitka's Fanatic Hoody isn't a casual hoodie with a camo print. The Permanent Polygiene Odor Control is built into the fiber — not a spray that washes out after three trips. The channeled stretfleece construction, built-in face mask, drop tail, and flip-over hand mitts are all purpose-built for whitetail sits in cold conditions. You're paying for a system piece that functions as insulation, scent management, and weather protection in one garment — not something you grab at a gas station on the way to camp.
Hunt Premium is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. When you purchase the Fanatic Hoody from us, you receive the full manufacturer warranty backing from Sitka Gear. No gray-market uncertainty, no wondering whether your warranty will be honored if something goes wrong. We handle warranty claims directly and stand behind every product we sell with a 30-day return window — unmounted and in original packaging. Buy with the same confidence you'd have walking into Sitka's own showroom.
The Fanatic Hoody works for more than tree stand sits. The athletic cut and stretfleece construction move with your body during still-hunts through timber, and the built-in face mask deploys fast when you stop to glass or call. That said, if your primary use is high-output activity — spot-and-stalk in warm conditions, running and gunning — this heavyweight piece will run too warm. For still-hunting in cold weather or sitting in a blind, it's the right tool. For high-exertion hunts, look at a lighter Sitka layer.
Polygiene is a silver-salt treatment permanently integrated into the fabric fibers during manufacturing — it doesn't wash out like topical scent sprays. In real hunting conditions, hunters report noticeable scent reduction through multiple wash cycles over a full season. It won't eliminate all human odor — nothing will — but it handles the bacterial growth that causes the worst of it. Combine it with normal scent discipline and you'll have a meaningful advantage in the whitetail woods. This isn't marketing fluff; it's a different approach to the problem than spraying down before every sit.
The Fanatic Hoody's athletic cut is designed specifically to function as a mid-layer under Sitka's whitetail system shells. It layers cleanly under the Fanatic Jacket or Vest without restricting draw movement or adding excess bulk. If you're pairing it with a Jetstream or Kelvin piece, the fit will depend on your base layer stack and the shell's cut. For the most predictable layering, pair it within the Fanatic system — Bib, Jacket, Vest, and Pack — as Sitka engineered these pieces to work together in forested whitetail environments.
This is a discontinued 2019 model, and available stock is limited to what we have on hand. The Fanatic Hoody remains a rugged piece of whitetail insulation — the Polygiene treatment, stretfleece construction, and system compatibility haven't changed because the model year moved on. If it fits your sizing and hunting application, it delivers the same performance it did when it was the current release. Returns follow our standard 30-day policy on unworn items in original packaging.
