For the past 2 years...i have been wearing my cold weather/waterproof/heavy/hooded jacket when I bow hunt. I know that scent and maneuverability and 2 keys factors in success so im thinking a light weight outer jacket would be a better option. im thinking a lightweight, non-hooded, shell would be a better option. what do you guys wear as an outer layer?

Check out some of the windproof fleece stuff. Predator and Nat Gear make what looks to be quality stuff. I am going to pick up a set this year.

I have always worn a shell outer layer (usually just rain gear) and layered accordingly underneath - heavy bulky does'nt work - at least not for me.

Windproof is a must for me but the rain gear can get a little sticky if its warm and does'nt really breath.

i was looking at the raingear shells as well but i was worried about them not breathing too. sometimes when i wear other raingear it keeps everything in and i end up drenched in sweat...and thats not good. ill look at some of the fleeces

i prefer a light coat oversized so that i can layer under it as the seasn gets colder. I'm a big fan of skyline, but natgear or predator or even mathews lost camo are great treestand patterns. very open, not dark like a lot of national brands. it matters how it looks to a deer not how good it looks to you!
