Waterfowl jacket

[MolliesMaster]

Need some ideas on a good waterfowl jacket. Would like a 2n1 system with a hard waterproof shell and an inner insulated jacket that can zip out.

I like the Columbia widgeon but I’ve never seen one in person. What else should I look at?

I just ordered one of these, because my old Herter's jacket is starting to show its age. I still get a sick feeling when I think about when Cabela's bought out Herter's.

I've had a Cabela's 4 in 1 for many years. Warm, but will get wet if it's raining hard.

I've read that it's because they screwed some of them up by installing the zipper flaps below the zipper instead of above. Call them to replace.

All you're doing is wasting money if you don't buy goretex.

This! Sitka makes some jam up stuff. It’s pricey, but if you can talk yourself into it like I did, you won’t have to buy another jacket again. I’ve hunted in torrential rain for a solid hour and didn’t have a damn drop on me underneath.

doesn't get anymore water proof than waxed jackets. we haven't had too many cold days in the last few years where i needed a whole jacket system, I've ended up with a sweater and a vest more times than not. if its nasty ill break out the mcalester.

X2 for grease coat. Unless it's bitterly cold...then I go to the Sitka boreal.

Layers. I usually wear a Macks PW wind proof hoodie that keeps me dry and warm in anything short of a monsoon. Have worn it as low as -10deg and been fine. I like shit tucked in my waders, can't stand shit over them.

I have been really impressed with my sitka delta wading jacket. Going on my 4th season with it. I also flyfish in it. The gusseted sleeves are great. It's not a 3 in one system, but it's the best hunting shell i have owned. Why do you want a system? I'm just curious

Don't need a system.. Mainly interested in a hard outer shell. SC hunting rarely gets cold enough for the insulated layer anyways. I just thought it would be hard to find a hard outer shell without getting the insulation added in.

finally pulling the trigger on this one myself, agree price is high as giraffe pussy but hoping it last for 5 years

I wear either a filson field cloth or tin cloth, wool vest under it is best. If its cold, I have a KUIU down jacket I wear under it.

I have the cabelas 4-1 parka and like it, but I only wear it when it’s cold and pissing rain.

I have the Banded White River coat. I picked it up a year ago and wore it a couple of times since. It did what it was supposed to do.

not a system, but love my sitka hudson jacket. i got 5 years out of my redhead 2 in 1, was looking at the Columbia Wigeon too, but after trying on the Sitka, i bit the bullet & after 2 seasons it's proved worth every penny, although it is ridiculously overpriced. the shell pockets are taller, narrower, & higher up which makes a huge difference carrying around a box of shells. it's also about 1/3 as thick as my redhead, a drake, or any other 2 in 1, way more comfy, & i always had to layer up under the 2 in 1 systems anyway, so it's much less bulky on the cold days in this thing. my redhead kept me dry in downpours for the first few years, but then it started leaking, a quick waterproof treatment & it was good, but it always got so heavy when wet, & the sitka doesn't do that, must b that fancy goretex shit, only downside is the neoprene cuffs are super comfy & seal amazing, but Off Deepwoods will melt them, at first i thought there's no way this thin jacket will keep me warm, but it does even sitting still in the freezing wind, must be that fancy primaloft shit...
