Title: Gamehide - Hunting wear?
Post by: DBake on November 22, 2007, 08:04:08 AM: Happy Turkey Day!

I was looking around at Sportsman (Federal Way) last night and ran into some gamehide hunting wear. They had a nice looking two or three in one jacket that was marked at $129 from $179 (ball park). I am wondering if anyone has any experience with Gamehide hunting wear?

Their website is set up very well showing all their products. http://www.gamehide.com/ (http://www.gamehide.com/)

I started using wool. If it gets wet i am still warm, and that is what i care about...

I noticed another brand that was a two in one jacket, although I forget the brand name. I guess I will make another stop sooner than later! :chuckle:

1 i love, the other one works fine for the money i paid for it, but as wdfw said, it doesn't breathe very well. it is a 3 in 1 or 2 in 1 or something jacket that i picked up on sale at joe's before turkey season '06. it served it's purpose and has continued to serve well for the $80.00 i payed for it. you can spend a whole hell of a lot more on a jacket than that, and i would expect a lot more out of an expensive jacket. for the price, it works well. i got what i paid for...
the other jacket is an upland hunting jacket and it works fine.

One thing to keep in mind is that the sizes (at least for me) seem to run a little small. I normally where a large, but with a large Gamehide jacket it fits, but barely. There's not much room for extra layers underneath. Next time I get a Gamehide jacket it will be an extra large.

"Solo Jacket"
(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamehide.com%2Fphotos%2F8LJ-2.jpg&hash=64c155090b51a97d69c6219be8aad899a992b394)

Although that jacket (forgot the brand name) I saw today at Sportco is really interesting.
