Hunting & Fishing Cold Weather Parka

[Niles Coyote]

For years I have been using many layers under a standard army M-65 parka. I am looking for something new, maybe with out having to layer as deep underneath.

Most of my hunting is stand hunting in 15-35 degrees with wind.

Any good suggestions?

Cabela's MT050 stuff is nice but pricey. If you want to be cheap, you can get a thick military surplus parka and put over a thin camo coat.

These are on sale now and they're what I just bought. 3 in 1 Parka, basically you get a jacket liner and gore-tex shell. These appear really warm, I just bought them couple weeks ago and it hasn't got that cold yet so I can't say if they're warm or not. They're quiet, I've put them on and walked around. They're comfortable, some say the sleeves are a bit short but it's perfect for me, I'm 5'6 about 180.

I still wear the same Browning goretex duck coat I bought in high school, even when the wind blows, and I'm all wet, she keeps me warm. Alot of the time I wear nothing else underneath too.

I wear Cabelas Outfitters wool with dry plus lining stuff for an outer layer. The stuff is great cold and wet/cold gear. With under layers I have used it down to single digits in the mountains here.

+1 for the MT050.

Re: Cold Weather Parka

While I was up in the Arctic, the issued jacket 1B was so fantastic I had to get another to hunt in. Have never been cold since. tried other things. just nothing keeps me as warm. and you can find them for decent price if you look. Now my feet are a different story. I have a pair of the Mickey Mouse Boots, but they are really heavy to hike in, and no grip on the bottom. But they keep my feet warm

I had this outfit made by Ravenware from somewhere in Alberta. Very pricey, very heavy but very warm when setting in a below zero snowbank.
