Decent med weight jacket with pit zips for hunting?
« on: January 20, 2016, 02:22:00 PM »
What do you have? Most of the offerings I see are like rain gear and too loud.  I want something quiet, with ventilation, doesn't have to be waterproof.  Under 120 bucks would nice.

I don't know if it would be what you are looking for but the best piece of clothing I have owned for bowhunting is a Filson vest.  It's great in cool weather and works well under a jacket for extra warmth.  The weave is so tight that it is almost wind proof and has good hand warmer pockets.

I have seen the Asbell stuff.  They look great, but as far as I can they breathe but do not have dedicated ventilation.

this is an excellent option from a tradgang sponsor-
   http://www.tusxhunter.com/resources/boulder-hardfleece-jacket-resource-information.html  
   http://www.tusxhunter.com/apparel/upper-body/boulder-hardfleece-jacket  

fits all your criteria- pit zips, super quiet, under your budget and it is far better than just decent.

also, if the washington you are from is the state, it will be very well suited to the wet environment there. it drys really fast.

Those pants and jacket look rally nice. Anyone here in the states use them and are there any extra charges delivering to the states?

Kingstaken,
The shipping is about $14.00 USD  for upto 5 kilos (11 lbs).
I use the Boulder pant and jacket and will be using the new schist pant on an New Zealand trip this year,very good gear.

TUSX boulder jacket and pants in use in new zealand.
 
 

you may notice on the kuiu kenai jacket mentioned that the handwarmer pockets are located right where a backpack waist belt would sit, effectively making them unusable when you have a pack on, which for me personally, is almost all the time.
it is the complete functionality of the tusx gear that IMO sets it amongst the best there is.

My favorite so far has been the Sitka 90% jacket.  You really can wear it for 90% of everything, or at least I can

Sitka gear 90% Jacket is an awesome piece of clothing.  I have been using it for the past 7 years for whitetails and elk.  Perfect for as they say 90% of the time.  I where it from SEP on Until it gets below 25 then the wool comes out.
