KOM Bowman jacket
« on: April 09, 2011, 08:12:00 PM »
My friend grew out of his KOM bowman jacket and sold it to me for $100! I think I got a great deal,don't you? I wore it once this past January and I was never warmer.Who has one and what do you think of it?

I wish I had one.  Look like a very nice piece of gear.  How is it in the wind?  Does it have a wind barrier?

It has a polyester liner which helps block the wind.

I have owned a Bowman jacket for over 15 year. It still looks almost new! I wouldn't sell it for anything.

I have had mine about 15 years also, wear it in the Spring for Turkeys, Fall and Winter, it is about the only thing I wear and it looks like the day I bought it. Here in the North you will still freeze if you stay out long enough but I haven't found anything I like better

I got one and rarely just use it as it's Too Hot for me.  Even with New England December weather, I'm still toasty with a KOM trapper, vest, and bibs.  But when the thermometer drops to zero, it sure is a nice addition.  They all stay outside from August to January.  Love my KOM...Doc

You sure got a great buy. I have 2, one in each camo style. They are my go to jacket when the temptures start to drop. I usally carry mine to the stand, to warm to walk far in,then I put it on over my vest. This keeps me warm and toasty and I'm able sit alot longer.

After considering one for several years I finally bought one last year and finally kept warm in the late season.  Really happy with mine.

Probably my favorite hunting jacket for bowhunting.  Although as I get older, the newer synthetics seem more appealing for mountain hunting with lots of hiking just for the weight.

I've never used mine in the rain yet and the forcast for Saturday is 40% chance of showers. Should I be safe and wear rain gear or should I chance it and wear the jacket?

Wool is warm wet or dry...just hang it up to dry when you return home.
