I'm glad all you fashion gurus are on this site to help people out. Just because you use something for hunting doesnt mean somebody else wouldnt wear it for work which is probably more often that you cool cats where it for hunting.
Don't be perturbed because I make my pursuit of the wild look good.
Back in the day ( when men were waterfowlers) , getting cold and wet was the price of admission.( it still is)..
What a bunch of pussies.

Just Damn.
When it's cold and rainy I got a carhartt Storm defender jackets that does the trick

I'll give another vote to a Cabela's Gore-Tex jacket. Had the one I hunt with for 10 years and never had a leak.

They issue us gortex to wear on the flightline I stay bone dry.
Goretex is a synthetic membrane that was developed for battlefield use as artificial veins to get wounded kids to the hospital alive during Vietnam. Today it is inserted inside of all manner of coats from Nylon to Cotton. What you end up with is a sponge of soaked fabric with a paper thin membrane of Goretex that is cut and sewn into arm, neck, pockets, deep inside your jacket. As you hunt and move, those seams, surrounded by trapped water, will leak. They just will. If you stay out in it. People assume Goretex is what the outer material of your coat is made of. It isn't. Goretex looks and feels almost like a thicker surgical glove. It is stretchy. A great invention. Will keep you dry for a while absolutely. Will absolutely get you wet later simply by doing it's job and becoming a barrier to liquid and turning your coat into a sponge.
Grease coats repel liquid at the point of contact. A properly maintained grease coat will keep you dry all day, which is the point. It isn't about fashion, brand loyalty, or anything but knowing you will be dry and comfortable when the last duck dies.
How is it a sponge if the outer layer is also waterproof? All I know if my goretex jackets doesn't absorb any water, not even after hours and hours. Now if the gore Tex were covered by something that wasn't waterproof then yeah

I'll also recommend the Cabelas Parka, mine is about 9 years old, still no leaks. I've had it in the rain for 6+ hours at a time on multiple occasions and been dry every time. Outer shell is completely waterproof and has a zip in liner for hotter weather which makes it pretty versatile.
A. What outermaterial are you claiming is waterproof? Rubber?
B. If it were, why would you need a Goretex membrane inside something you claim is already waterproof?
WL Gore licences their product membrane for a ton which would mean your jacket is costing twice as much to do what you claim it is already doing at the outer shell. Simple bullshit. Cabelas quit using Goretex about 20 years ago and tried their own version called Omni Tech. It sucked balls. Not sure what they use now.
Man I don't know. I just know it says goretex and I stay dry. The outer layer beads water as if it were a waxed car

That tin cloth will shrink up on you in a minute! I bought one of those tin cloth hats years ago in xl and it fit great. After about a month of riding around in my truck I went to put it on and I thought someone was playing a joke. It had shrunk to like an xl small! I threw that thing in file 13 swiftly.
