Anyone have any suggestions for a great jacket for the tree stand? I want something with a lot of pockets (min 4). I would want to be comfortable in 25-50 degree weather and would want wind stopper. Know of any?

If it’s in your budget Sitka makes some good ones. If I could only have one it would be the Sitka Stratus jacket.

They just never seem to have enough pockets

Carry a day pack. Pockets, beyond hand warmers, are a pain.

Suggest looking at Day One Camo. For the temps you're talking about, you need layers more than just the jacket.
I have the jacket and vest in ASAT fleece with wind stopper. The jacket has five pockets and you can add a back pouch.

Sitka stratus. I just want pockets for the things I need in a flash on a hunt. Rangefinder if you use one, and my finger tab basically. Other basics go into my pants pockets where they’re not as “in the way” For everything else, there’s a fanny pack. I typically have a pack because I hang and hunt.
Round here, I’m in my fanatic though from late oct until the end of the season

Sitka fanatic is a warm functional jacket for a tree stand. I use it all fall once temps drop below 50 and layer under it to below zero.

I actually use a Columbia down coat with a windstopper fleece over top. Good, solid base layer underneath everything.

I can see it now, the all new, all in one tree stand Jacket with built in day pack from sitka. If you have to ask how much such a vital piece of gear costs, then you can't afford it. A truly revolutionary piece, preorder yours today by going online and filling out the credit app to see if you qualify.

The only thing that goes into my jacket pocket is a rangefinder. I can’t stand stuff in them when trying to shoot my bow.
With that said I have a stratus and a fanatic as well as the Celsius. The stratus with a Celsius under it has worked pretty dang good with temps down to the mid 20’s.

Pockets is where I find a lot of stuff I lost the year before.

With Sitka, you don't need pockets, as you won't have anything to put in them.
