Thanks for the input guys.
Looking at the specs for these jackets it appears the weight of this Cabela�s jacket is right in line with these products, and weight was my major concern initially. My friend loves his Sitka gear stuff but I found the cut of the clothes to be a little on the tight side. For the shell I really want something pretty loose fitting so when I layer up underneath it doesn�t get too tight or restrictive.
All these option look nice but I hate hoods and the Otte Gear is a bit cost prohibitive for me. I guess I�ll just give this jacket a go and see if I like it. My personal system now consists of an odd collection of high and low end stuff that works from me ranging from Kennetrek boots, to nylon fishing pants, and army surplus wool gloves. When it really gets nasty I usually break out my Go-lite poncho and hunker down.
Thanks again.
