re: Favorite Duck Hunting Jacket

I have heard from a couple of people that while their jackets are the best on the market and warm as hell you really dont need them down here. You can wear that jacket with a t shirt and be fine in the weather we are having right now.

Got the Sitka Delta wading jacket bc I wanted a good long term jacket that's really waterproof. I tried several others on bf getting settling on that one but it just felt/fit the best. You generally don't need the heavy stuff down here so make sure you get a good outer shell that allows room to layer underneath when it does get cold. I have an old browning DC 3/1 with the down liner and I love it, but wore it out over 15 yrs or so. Tried drake wader jacket for a few yrs but it sucked bad in the rain. Quality brands that I've used or know guys that have used are Columbia, cabelas, browning and beretta. Filson and Mcallister make quality stuff as well but won't do quite as well as goretex in the rain.

Field supply had a sale on these that ended Saturday. I think the dirty bird jackets were $69. I ended up ordering a browning down jacket for $49. Should come in early next week.

I have thisand this. Both are plenty warm.

I also really have a want for a Columbia Widgeon 3-in-1.

I have three that get circulated regularly.

McAlister wax cotton with a liner. Really needs to be waxed right now but it is unbelievably warm.

Columbia Widgeon. Great jacket that I've had for a long time. Completely waterproof and very warm

Drake LST - When it's cold and I don't have to worry about heavy rain this is usually the one I grab. It's really warm and lightweight.
