Odessa,
I'm a hunting coat freek and there isn't much I'm not willing to try in the search for what works. No doubt Filson makes quality gear. That being said high on my list are clothes that move easy while wearing.
My problem with the heavy tin cloth is it doesn't move all that well. Especially when you start adding layers underneath. Most of the time when moving and while upland hunting in the cold I wear two LW poly something tops along with a thin puff jacket. These days usually under an llBean field coat.
That combination gives a lot of flexibility to adjust to varying temps. And if something needs removed-usually the puff jacket-I place it in a garbage bag and put it in the game pouch. Takes up little space and you hardly know it is there.
Whoever came up with the idea of the puff jacket should be given a big thanks from all who roam around in the outdoors. One extremely versatile piece of gear.
