Go with the Sitka. I just got a duck oven and with a sweatshirt that was more than enough to keep me warm. I might get the Hudson as well just for really cold conditions, but with how light duck oven was allow full mobility, I see myself wearing that 95% of the time. I can't stand bulk when hunting. That jacket was 219. Not too bad for what you get. The wind stopper is the biggest asset, especially when hunting the eastside. Good luck.

I really like my Sitka Jacket.  That said I am really annoyed that the hood doesn't zip on and off.

I agree!!!  Everything has a dang hoodie these days.  Like rappers and street thugs are going to be hunting big game or ducks >:(

The Sitka stuff is great, but I think it puts you above the $350 budget unless you find a closeout somewhere.

Ha! Funny, I always want the hoody on jackets. Like pulling that hood up over my hat too when the wind and rain are sideways! I guess I am getting old...

You just need to get yourself one of these Iceman.  They are cool!!!  And then if the wind gets blowing too hard you can pull it down and turn yourself into Dumb Donald awesome :chuckle:

Figured I needed to add a picture of Dumb Donald.  Wasn't sure all the young guys would know who that was  ;)

I'm not sure if those are available in Mossy Oak.  But, these are.  PM Hirshey, I bet she can get you hooked up with one :chuckle:

I've been puttting a Columbia Widgeon jacket w/liner thru it's paces for about 7 - 8 yrs now with no complaints whatsoever. Great product. I'll buy another when it's time.

Got a tip on a good local tailor so I took my Sitka Wading Jacket in.  He was able to remove the hood and then add a zipper to it so I can take it on and off now.  The sewing is great and the zipper looks like it was done by the factory.  The color match is nice.

I am very happy with my custom coat now and the tailor only charged $25.

Are you making fun of my sweet trapper's hat?? That thing was glorious in the snowy Idaho mountains!  :P

Most men can't pull off the trapper hat as well as you do :chuckle:  Still one of my favorite pictures you've posted! 

I use to have one from Browning that was Gore-Tex and down.  Best late season hat ever.  Then I loaned it to a nephew and that was the end of that.  Where did you get yours?  Brand?  I'm headed to northern WI in November this year for monster whitetail.  I'm going to need to get myself a new one.

 :chuckle: Yeah, for me it's always been function over fashion, and that thing is warm!

I actually got mine at the military surplus store in Spokane.. I love that place.
