I prefer stuff that doesn’t cost as much as a Glock.BTW - Pneuma stuff is made in either China or Vietnam.
I prefer Sitka stuff - made in Montana, USA.
Although I appreciate articles like this the cost is way too much as I have incredible wet/cold weather gear for a 1/3 of the cost, I also found the authors comment about “looking good” in his $500 rain gear funny as my thought is, if I’m warm, dry and comfortable I don’t care how I look.Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.

Sitka's are made for different hunting (mountain) conditions than crawling through briars. The best for that are canvas with the extra protection.I’ve got a pnuma coat that I got from Scheels. It was billed as a cold weather coat but it is more like a 35 degree coat. If I put stuff under it I can take it out in the cold for hours. So far it has been waterproof. It seems a little fragile and I wouldn’t take it through briars.
On the upside, it is very lightweight and comfortable with lots of convenient pockets. Good hood also.
I looked at Sitka and they looked like one trip through briars would shred them. Very thin material. Also hideously expensive.
FWIW…
