I would go with the Coldfront over the Stratus. The stratus (along with the rest of the new forest items) has a brushed finish, which is nice and quiet for the treestand, but it will not shed water like the Coldfront soft shell and the exterior fabric of the Stratus will take longer to dry if it gets saturated. Also the the stratus is not waterproof, only windproof! The Coldfront is not insulated, only lighlty lined, so layer a good vest or fleece under it and you should be good to go.
