It'll also last longer if ya buy good stuff in the first place. I have my hunting gear, and three or four rain suits, but the insulated Guide Wear gives you Goretex, Thinsulate Ultra, and Wind Block. There might be better stuff out there, but the Cabelas is a time tested, proven product, plus its on sale for a great price right now!!! Good luck in your choice.

I dont understand this statement, I hear it alot but dont understand it. Do without until you can put together 400 bucks to buy the best. I like the best as much as anyone else but its not always an option, the key is dry and wind protection. Once a product has these two qualities the warmth will be there with little added layers. I have a set of HUSH HIDE, rarely gets worn because it just aint needed the way I hunt, great for fishing too but gets heavy when it gets wet, you wont get wet but it does and would be bad dangerous if you fell in. The floating factor is more appealing to me.

The ad says it holds you and two others up if you fall in the water. That sounds nice.

OMG, I have an opinion and YOU ALWAYS say derogatory things about them, whether you understand my meaning or not. Why don't you just call me on the phone instead of calling me out online?

See my post BEFORE this one. Apparently we agree. We were typing at the same time.
