Sell me a warm coat

Filson Double Mackinaw busts your budget but it's a one time buy. Wear mine in wet frigid or with a light poncho for downpours.

I spit my coffee out when I read that.

That's hilarious. Who knew they had such specific and peculiar criteria for sitting in a metal box.

Every guide I've met has been either dressed to rip, or was rocking a t-shit... no need for a jacket rolling around in a heated cab all day.

I bought a Core4Element Elevation Jacket. Packs super small, super light and incredibly warm.

I've not thrown $$$ at various types of warm backpacking coats though my experience with this coat does all for my interest.
I was tracking some elk way beyond base camp once. Opted to rough it through the night and pulled that coat out, slipped into my thermoliner and I was surprisingly comfortable - considering the situation... Maybe 15-20* at it's coldest.

I love this coat.

Navy pea coat for all uses except hunting.

Cabelas wooltimate or windshear fleece for super cold hunts. Both should keep you under $300.

So I actually have the early edition wooltimate set already. I rock the pants a lot, but the top was a pullover and my wife refuses to be seen in public with a fuzzy, splotchy colored bear.

How committed to your wife are you?

I think they meant to say for those people who think they might someday try a meeting someone who runs a heli or ski cat operation. I will say it looks like it has plenty of places to stash a pipe and a bag of green, both prerequisites for their original clientele.

I'm 11 years and two kids deep, plus I'm not nearly as good lookin now that a significant portion of the hair on my head now resides on my shoulders and back.

If only. I've been looking for a used one and it seems the hipster demand is inflating even that market.

It's good Starbucks crossover haberdashery...do you'd have that going for you.
