Sitka Reviews 24

Sitka's warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. Purchased a Delta Lt Gore-Tex jacket in June of 2022. Less than 4 seasons and the liner is coming apart. Sitka calls it normal wear and tear. Cheap fragile material. Definitely would not consider it rugged. I have had Gore-Tex coats from Cabela's and Columbia and have never experienced such junk.

Hey Pete,

Our repair facility has examined your Delta LT jacket. They found delamination due to wear on the hood, inner left torso and bottom of left torso. A layer of waterproof seam tape at the bottom of the left torso along with patches is recommended in order to properly repairs this garment. Unfortunately, these issues are related to wear and tear, not a manufacturing defect, and is not covered under our warranty. Rainy Pass Repair, Inc. has provided a quote of $207-240 to repair the tear(s) in your item

I purchased a jacket never received it when it showed delivered I sent them a message they sent out a new jacket and it said delivered and again it wasn't I sent them a message about this issue and its been couple weeks now and they wont respond or refund me

My wife and I bought Downpour pants at the same time. Within 3 weeks my wife’s leg zipper broke. The store replaced them. Within a year her pants started leaking. The store had quit selling Sitka gear because of returns so we had to send them to Sitka gear. After a few months they said that they were damaged and would not warranty them. My wife and I walk step for step with each other. Why weren’t mine damaged? No visible damage. We then called Gore Tex. They said they wouldn’t warranty Sitka gear even this their tag comes with Sitka gear with a lifetime warranty. Never buying Sitka or Gore Tex again. Expensive crap.

Their Optifade Elevated II products are supposed to be undetectable, However the clothing photographs BLUE the only color that Whitetail Deer can identify. I have worn it twice in the field and both times the Whitetail deer have seen me clear as day. Sitka customer service is nonexistent. You can never get an answer using the Sitka phone numbers and it takes weeks before they answer an email. Customer service is HORRABLE !!! Their products are very expensive compared to comparable other companies and not as warm. They are also made from fabric that contain chemicals that are not allowed for sale in some states. I would never recommend Sitka for any of your hunting or daily clothing needs !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zero communication and NOTHING ever arrives when it’s supposed to. They couldn’t care less about their customers. Awful.

I made a purchase at the store in Bozeman MT. I wore the hoodie once washed it when I was back in Michigan and noticed a small hole in the seam by the front pocket. I called Sitka and spoke to “Tucker” they stood behind their product and sent me a new one. Great Customer Service.

Clicked on the $10 shipping when I placed my order. I immediately noticed I was charged $40. I tried calling customer service but said high call volume . Wouldn’t let me hold or even leave a number for call back. Said there was a live chat on site, but there wasn’t . Only option was to send email. One week later they finally respond and pretty much say to deal with it. I spent quite a bit of money there this month between gifts for my son and husband, but will not buy anything from them again. SITKA CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE!!!!

horrible zippers in $450 aerolite bibs and absolutely no customer support at the phone desk or warranty dept i've been trying for over a month now to get there stupid website to work or talk to a human now that my hunting season is over when i needed them most i guess my rush isn't important to them thanks for nothing Sitka I'm buying first lite from now on
I thought Montana would have a better company under their name i guess not

Placed an incorrect order and tried to cancel. They were closed? Yet when I called no return call. Left a "Contact Us" last night. No callback. When I "Chatted" live the next morning less than 30 minutes after they opened they said they could not cancel. This is real bad customer service. I'll have to wait several weeks for delivery, take somewhere to send back, and wait another several weeks for my $200 refund in 2026! Telling my grandson to find another brand.

Pattern of Complaints
Pattern of Complaints
On March 13, 2025, Better Business Bureau identified a pattern of complaints against SITKA Gear. Consumers reported issues with billing, delivery, and customer service. Consumers allege that after making purchases on SITKA Gear's website and being charged immediately, their orders never arrive. Furthermore, they struggle to reach SITKA Gear, frequently encountering unresponsiveness and inadequate customer support.

BBB has informed SITKA Gear about the complaint pattern and is awaiting their response.

I purchased items through the military/first responder program. For a second time following my purchases Sitka has offered lower prices on line. When I called them back the first time they said I only had 2 weeks from purchase to ask for a price adjustment. Second time which was this week and within the 2 weeks they told me I had already received a discount under govx which is for military and first responders and it is there policy not to provide a price adjustment even when they are offering a lower price during a sale within the 2 weeks.

So I’ve now spent over $400 more then I would have through a sale. Won’t happen again.

I would advise any military or first responder to keep this in mind when buying from this company. As for me this was my last Sitka purchase I will be buying other highly rated brands, but not Sitka from here on out

I dropped a pair of gaiters off to be repaired. The stitching had come apart along the edge of the Velcro ( manufacturer defect) thus separating the Velcro from the gaiters. The area that need restitched was about 6 inches in length. Not a difficult repair. I went in two weeks later and was told the repair person isn’t in on a regular basis so they weren’t repaired yet . Today ( a month since I dropped them off ) I went in to see what was going on . They still weren’t repaired yet. The girl working the cash register got kind of mouthy with me . She wasn’t polite as she explained to me that a lot of gear gets dropped off after winter in the spring and the girl that works back there is overwhelmed. We usually tell people expect 4 to 6 weeks for their repair to be completed. Wow that’s a lot of gear that’s being returned for repairs . Maybe Sitka gear isn’t such a good investment! I took my gaiters and left the store . There are other companies I can do business with in the future. Horrible customer service!!!

Bought a pair of waders. They started
Leaking where the boot meets the wader on the seam. Sent them in to be repaired under their “warranty” providing service for the “practical life of the product”. Apparently two seasons is the “practical life span” of waders. They sent me a bill of $115.29 to repair the leaking seam that was creased wrong on the boot to begin with. I should not be paying $115.29 to repair a manufacturer defect on these waders. They should last longer than a season or two for $1000.

Worst ever!! They advertise they have items available. Process your payment right away. Then turn around after a week and say the size isn’t available anymore. Still waiting for my money to be refunded. I placed another order once size became available again on their website. And within 3 days I’m getting another email stating the size isn’t available anymore. They fraudulently advertise things that they don’t have nor do they reserve what they have on hand for the orders placed. I immediately went and checked website after I received the email and what do you know the exact product and size I just was told isn’t available anymore is showing available to order. Needless to say I did not place another but took a screenshot for proof of the fraud. I will be contacting my credit card company and disputing all transactions from this company, along with reporting them to the better business bureau. Customer service waste of time and they don’t do anything to help nor follow through on the emails they say you should receive. Also was told by customer service that they don’t know it’s not available until they go to pick order. So your telling me your website along with the idiots working there no one knows how to count and hold items that are purchased. And just checked again on website bibs I ordered are showing available again, exact ones I was told last night aren’t available. Don’t order from here unless you have money to throw away!! Horrible!!

So I placed an order for waders on sale and paid $1068 They report they were delivered on December 19th. What was delivered was a $30 xl sweatshirt. Now I am unable to reach anyone at Sitka. No way to call anyone. I’ve ordered here EVERY YEAR. BUT THAT IS NO LONGER GOING TO HAPPEN. I WILL NOT EVER ORDER HERE AGAIN. I AM OUT $1068 and I need a resolution. I have pics of what was delivered as well as profit of purchase! SITKA ITS CHRISTMAS. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT!

Sitka has the absolute worst Customer Support....
BEWARE: once you click to buy it you are stuck with the consequence...whether you receive the product or not. It is impossible to reach a real live person and if you do they read from a script. I will NEVER buy from this company again. Reade the reviews for yourself and believe them.

I’ve purchased a fair amount of Sitka products. It all has been decent quality but not awesome I’d say especially for the price. I have a second home mortgage now that has financed my purchases. lol!

But their customer service is absolutely non-f’ing-existent! They do not answer the phone and they do not answer any email other than with a standard bot reply saying they strive to give great service.

They processed my credit card on the spot for my order yet it has been over a week now and they have only printed a label so maybe they pulled my order.

Sitka is lousy and needs to do better.

I placed an order on Oct 26th this is a Saturday. It’s now a week later November 2nd and my order HASN’T SHIPPED YET! 🤬
I called 3 different times and the last guy I talked to told me if I would have made my order on Monday not on Saturday it would’ve been shipped by October 31st. I don’t recommend buy from this company direct. I asked to speak to a supervisor on November 1st still no phone call.

They suck! My waders had a hole in the not even a year, and they’re trying to make me pay 150$ for the repair!!!! Wt heck is this? I paid 1500$ for waders and they want me to PAY for the repair? do better Sitka! I will NEVER wear or buy another product AGAIN!! EVER

One of your brand ambassadors made very obscene sexually harrasing posts on instagram, I have screenshots to prove it he goes by "the_dustybrown" on instagram. I have dmed you the screenshots via Instagram but I will make them live soon.

Thanks!

You do not offer very many products at Wings and Whitetails in Carthage , Texas. I personally buy everything that involves guns , clothing, bows etc.. It would be great if you added more products in this store. I will not drive 30 minutes to a store that carries your brand when I can buy Blaser guns and appearl there. I really like sitka products and would love to have more options.
