90% pants and jacket. Good gear. NOT worth the price!!!

 

[Drake4]

I agree..good stuff but definitely not worth the price.

 

[mdhunter]

Buy it on sale and I think its worth it...

A friend of mine has the heated vest(dutch oven) and paid $400 for it. He is a real cold bug, so he claims it was worth it. I guess it's up to the person as whether it was worth it or not.

I have the base layer core shirt - I think underarmor is better

Traverse shirt and bottoms - worth the price. Worn over underarmor it is very warm.

Ascent pants - extremely comfortable. Quite thin so not good for the thick stuff where you can catch a snag.

90% pants - worth the price.

Celsius bibs - worth the price.

Like any gear, you get what you pay for. Generally I think it is worth the price and hard to beat if you match the conditions. I wish it were all waterproof but i guess you can't have everything.

It is an easier pill to swallow if you buy on sale. I got all my stuff either in Cabelas bargain cave or camofire.com

I bought a pair of ascent pants this last season and absolutely loved them.
Bought them off of camofire.com. Good way to get their stuff for half off.

nhy,

I am a world class tight wad and hate parting with my money. With that said, I bit the bullet and purchased the 90% jacket and pants, Celsius vest, Traverse Zip T, and Core Zip T. I am more than pleased with everything. It performed better than I expected and I couldn't ask for anything more. I worked with a dealer and got everything at 30% off and free shipping. Top end gear, but don't pay full price.

Question for you 90% jacket users. How "wet" can the weather be and it still keep you dry?

Another brand, which is a bit cheaper, that looks pretty good is the new stuff from Russell.

I'd look for something else in a downpour. For most of my hunting, the 90% jacket is what I use, but if I expect rain--even a light one--I'll usually bring a rain coat.

I have a complete set by looking for bargains so then it is worth it. You can find some of the mountain mimcry patterns still out there at 50% and it is good. I never would pay retail. My 90% jacket, I wear from September to January (archery through waterfowl) so I say it is worth it.

Thanks for the feedback. Took the plunge on some Optifade Celcius bibs, 90% jacket, traverse T & bottoms, and a core T.
