“I hunt, so need layers for different weather - wind, sun, rain. A mate has $600 super-duper all-in-one jacket but I just don't have the funds, so opted for this parka. It's big, but it's acceptable to slip into a day pack, and whilst it hasn't been used in anger yet, you can tell it'd have to be a flood before you get wet. It covers a small pack and your rifle easily, and it has a great hood. Goes down to mid-calf, so as long as you have warm layers underneath, you should be sweet as out in Mother Nature. A stalking cover-all? No - it'd be a little noisy, but this is designed to keep you dry in serious weather, not for deployment because it's spitting. I like the fact that it's strong enough to make a ground sheet and it has good eyelets, so you can sling some paracord through and make a basha out of it. A versatile and useful bit of kit. Recommended for someone who wants an inexpensive, multi-purpose rain layer.”
