Hope you enjoy and we'll be back to regularly scheduled programming next week.   Sitka Ambient vs. Heavyweight Hoody – Field-Tested Review After running both the Sitka Ambient Hoody and the Core Heavyweight Hoody back to back for the last year I put my final thoughts together in this field-tested review.
