Snow on the tops doesn't mean you stop hunting. It means you layer smarter.
From base layers that move moisture, to active insulation that breathes on the climb, to static insulation that holds heat the second you stop moving, through to a shell that shuts the wind and snow out completely.
Sitka's system is built so every piece has a job, and every piece works together.
Cold pre-dawn starts. Exposed ridgelines. Long glassing sessions with the wind cutting through. The NZ alps throw all of it at you in a single day. The right layers mean you're still comfortable, still focused, out in the field longer and when it counts.
