[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2137409, member: 67552"] I am a bit of a hunting coat junkie. I used to guide duck and goose hunters in Minnesota and had many ill-prepared customers. I started buying and trying every coat and pant and bib I could get whenever I found a sale and in multiple sizes. Alot of that cold cold weather gear got dual use in the deer stand. Cabelas used to have tons of great options as well as Herters and Drake had some ok stuff later on. I used alot of Sitka gear for layout hunting and the lighter stuff is great for dragging boats and setting up. Columbia was always disappointing. I started with Kuiu gear a few years ago and most of it, especially pants I like much better than Sitka. I have accepted the fact the pants have to go to the tailor to get shortened a bit. the best cold weather coat of all (I have roughly 40) is the Browning quad parka. Down liner, Gore-Tex shell that is as quiet as any I have. Just long enough and just big enough for a base and thin mid it is still good for shooting and climbing. I can pack it out and put it on when I get to my stand and it will hold my walk in heat for hours. It has remained 100% water proof for 20 years. I do not us it until it hits 10 degrees or so and have sat still in it for 5 hours at 20 below. I too am in between sizes for layering with Sitka and Kuiu. I am 5'10 and 2 bills and large is too tight in the shoulders and XL leaves me swimming. [/QUOTE]
