one thing i've learned from 20 years of hunting is that you don't cut corners with winter hunting clothes. Spend the money up front and you won't have to spend as much on layers and new jackets down the road.

The jacket I posted is a wool blend and windproof/water resistant. I normally pack it in and then put it on once I'm done climbing. I've worn it down to 25 degrees with no base layer on and have been fine.

I have last years Academy 2:1 parka and gloves.

I rode all winter last year. Think 30 is cold? Try it at 80 mph

Quality is very good. My last academy hunting coat lasted 16 years.
