Battue, well stated. I do find my Remington hunting coat or a Gander Mountain canvas barn coat much more comfortable for movement and breathability than my Filson gear. If it wasn't for the opportunity to pick up a coat, strap vest, pants and a pair of chaps and suspenders for just over $200 about 10 years ago at a close out sale, I probably would not have Filson gear. I still very much like their chaps and bird vest, great for warm weather hunting. Get the extra large version and you can wear it over other clothing for cold weather. My Filson coat is 11 years old and it is still stiff, and the pants when you slip them on in a cold cabin are stiff and cold to the touch. But they can't beat for the briars and hawthorn bushes.
