I got the ones with the waist too. But for 15 bucks.... I cut and ran straps through the shoulder pads. I didn't like doing that but was the only way unless you have some sewing skills/equipment. The botom section had lots of straps and attachments that I was able to very slick like attach that.

Seems above my skillset.

Puffy pants and coat are holding up well, been inside for maybe 30 minutes today.  So much less hassle than packing bibs and sweating wearing a heavy coat to the stand.  If it gets any colder though I'll need an outer layer on top of the down.  Pants got real wet this morning and didn't lose their insulation.  Only negative is the material is light.  One of my broadheads poked a hole I'm going to have to patch.

Yeah, been eyeballing them since they announced them.  Probably not this year, the 2 smokepoles should do it for the fall.  I'm looking forward to doing some legwork during gun with this gear.

I just freeze my nads off in the stand so figured if I can get these bibs they'll work with my current cabela's heavy jacket and cover my lower back where the wind always finds a way to bite me and then next year I'll get the jacket. Maybe from my parents for Christmas if I behave lol. The pants will be from the wife

Gee, brand new account, terrible punctuation.  I've beaten the everliving crap out of my pants from KUIU that are made for brush-busting (not rain gear) and haven't had an issue.  Plus their customer service is american, picks up right away (less than a minute) and refunds you the difference on stuff that goes on sale within a month of you buying it.

It has the same rating at the SKRE down feather coat ,it works really good.

I just wish all SKRE's gear didn't have hoodies.......get it on the litter layer ......just hate it on the puffy jacket. Just my opinion though.....not a big hoodie fan.

I have the super ultra mega goose coat too, along with the pants.  They're clipped to my pack almost all year.  Even if I don't plan to sit, great ace in the hole.  I don't think they sell these anymore, which is a damn shame.  2 things that were negatives to the coat/pants were #1)  Definitely not tough out shell (what do you expect for that light weight) #2) They took FOREVER to stuff into their own pocket again.  This bag took care of #2, they both stuffed right in this in under 30 seconds.  Bag clips to pack, away you go feeling like you just stepped out of your sleeping bag.

That's one of my gripes ,that and the hood sticks to the wool hat ,it makes it hard to turn your head while wearing the hood and hat together.

Which hat?  This hat?

I've had the opportunity to wear it once, and it's freaking amazingly warm.

I have the guide DCS pants and I can't imagine anything tearing them

The camo pattern on my Kuiu pants is so good the briars can't find me.

Same. It's difficult to even find crew neck sweatshirts anymore.

[GR HUNTER]

I have a pair of Kutana stretch that I love. Light but tough.  I also have a a pair of Talus Hybrid that are great for wet spring turkey mornings that are awesome too.

I go with 3/4 zip......allows for ventilation and you can find them by all different makers on sale for reasonable prices. I don't mind outer layer camo.....but everything undernearh can be had alot cheaper in non camo colors.

I saw some big sales this fall, but mid season already I decided to wait. I’ll wait for the next one. 20-40% means free $100 or so on $300

Keep me posted if/when a sale pops up, I'd score one of their Kenai Bombers.
