I'm not into fancy...

I have a McAllister canvas coat, tough, waxed with a hood. Hand warmer pockets are warm... front pockets are deep, hold enough shells and don't spill.

There is a suspender option for when it gets too warm.

It turns briars and barbed wire.

AC,

I have a Browning Gortex Grouse jacket that is some kind of great, has not torn in many years of upland usage, water proof and I love it. Unfortunately Browning no longer offers this Grouse Jacket for sale, they told me it had become too expensive. I understand Dans now carries something like it. I have not priced their Jacket so you will need to go on line and investigate the Goretex jacket and the cost. L.L. Bean had a real nice Upland Goretex coat last year, I do not know if it is still available, all the good Goretex upland coats are getting real hard to find.

all the best,

If your Browning hunting coat is Goretex and AC does not want it, I will purchase the Goretex coat from you. Contact me at pine-creek@live.com

It depends what you want. Do you wear a strap vest or do you want something with orange on it? If you wear a strap look at the Orvis Heritage Field Cot. I have one and it’s been spectacular. If you want 100% waterproof look at the Beretta Thorn Proof. I also have this jacket and it’s also been spectacular.

Duluth Trading has a wide range of duck cloth jackets very suitable for hunting and shooting. Almost all of them are well under $100. A good shot of scotchgard keeps them dry. I have fallen out of love with Gore Tex, it’s like wearing a shower curtain.

When you get into the $400 US range you can start looking at a Barbour. Well worth the price.

I never liked any of the coats I purchased over the years. I didn’t like the restriction of movement in a coat. I use a strap vest and in cold or inclement weather I add a pullover and/or a vest under the pullover.
Good Hunting,
Mike

That’s what I said til I bought the Orvis Heritage Field.

rob,
Sense the coat is not Goretex I will pass on it, thanks much for the reply.
