Sitka Jetstream vest vice Mountain Vest

Looking to pick up a new vets nd am looking at these two. What is the differences between the two. I have a Kuiu Down vest so looking fr something that will still add warmth but be quieter and able to be worn on the outside.

They are NOT what you want or need...look at the Shacket (hybrid jacket/vest). It's quiet, warmer and ideal for bow hunting (if that's your game).

I have the jet stream and freaking love it. I think the different is a fleece lining in the jet, and not in the mountain. I could be incorrect, but pretty sure.

Shacket looks interesting but I'll stick with a vest. Want it to complement my ascent jacket and 90% Jacket.

I'm not sure if they have changed the cut on the Sitka vests but I would try one on before you bought one. When I tried them on the arm holes are tiny. I wear an XL in tops and the XXL arm holes were too small for me. This has been several years ago so it may have changed.

For what you asked, I would go with the jetstream. I own both the jetstream and the mountain. Like Jordan said the difference is the fleece liner for the jetstream. They both have the goretex windblocker liner.
