Parkas, coat and Jackets

Post by kdrchuck »

What do you all wear or recommend for hunting in snow and rain. anywhere from 0 to 40 degrees. I can't find anything that will actually stay dry. I don't know if it is possible. Something I've been looking at is building my own at www.gowatershed.com

RIVERS WEST ! ! ! ! !

Don't waste your money on anything else. Do the research if you want, but you will decide it is worth the money. And now they are making a pull-over for under a hundred bucks.

It's like this:
The displays that you see in the stores show a mini coat or vest made by Rivers West, and it will have water pumping over it. You will see the water just runs right off. Now look closely, and see that the container that is holding the water is made of the same material that the coat is made of, and it holds the water in and doesn't soak through.
The new pullovers have a bit more venting, because this stuff doesn't breathe the best. But if you are looking for something to hold the body heat in, this is your stuff.
Last Christmas my wife got me some. This Christmas we are buying some for her brother and my boys. While buying some, there was a lady next to us getting some for her husband, but she was unsure about what the sales people were saying. I re-assured her a bit, now her husband will have a GREAT Christmas.

The venting is the biggest issue for me, i think. And that is why i havn't bought Rivers west so far. I've heard it hold heat in, and i don't want that. IDK thanks for the advice.
