Waterfowling Jacket Reccomendations

What about recommendations for a laydown blind

Sitka Hudson has been fantastic to me.

Jimmy how do you like the hudson? I was looking at one of those over a wading jacket? Is it pretty warm or do you still need a lot of layering?

Going on third season with the SITKA Pantanal jacket. I can honestly say it's the best jacket I've owned.

I have four pieces of Sitka.  One is a base layer (next to skin).  I think it is called a Core Midweight Zip T.  I have the Duck Oven mid-layer jacket.  I love this thing.  I wear it all the time around my property, on it's own.  For waterproof Gore-Tex outer jackets I have the Delta Wading Jacket and the Hudson jacket.  I wore the Delta last weekend with the Duck Oven under it in 25 degree temps.  Could go colder and be ok, depending on layering.   Sitka is owned by WR Gore, so they use the highest grade of Gore-Tex in their jackets.  There is not a breathable waterproof hunting garment on the market that is any better than Sitka.   I like a previous poster's comment of "buy once cry once".  Sitka is expensive but a long term investment.  I am in my 60s and I do not envision ever buying another hunting jacket.

In the past I have owned Drake (junk, at least at that time), Columbia and Cabelas.  I really like the Columbia jackets but they will not keep you dry like a Sitka.

sitka  - the duck oven and farenheit are the do-all pieces that can take you down into the frigid temps. The waterfowl marsh pattern is the best camo out there. I wear it for both waterfowl and big game hunting. If the price tag is too steep you can try to shop used, there have been some deals on here in the past.

I bought a set of Cabelas Dry Plus wetland came jacket and bibs about 20 years ago. I don't know if they're made as well still but they still serve me well.

It has been plenty warm, even on some seriously frigid days. Very $$ but worth the money. Next level quality. no need for much more than a base layer

Alright, well it sounds like Sitka is the overwhelming winner here.
