What reviewers say

Owners rate it very highly for warmth, wind blocking and quiet. Several hunters report sitting comfortably in below-zero wind chills. Fit reviews are mixed; some say it runs small and suggest sizing up if you wear heavy layers under it. A few found the front pocket awkward when venting, and some wish it were fully waterproof. Many recommend carrying it in and putting it on at the stand.

Good

  • Very warm and windproof
  • Quiet for bow hunting
  • Handmuff built in
  • Harness port

Not so good

  • Expensive
  • Not waterproof
  • Too warm to walk in; fit can run small

Who it's for

Late-season tree stand and blind hunters, especially bowhunters. Spot-and-stalk hunters who move a lot need something lighter.
