Just need some opinions here. been looking at some rivers west raingear, I plan on using it nearly all of the time as my primary clothing just using underlayers for temp control. its pretty high dollar stuff so making the final decision is tearing me up lol.
here is my delimma, I kinda wanted the Ambush jacket in advantage max 4 but now i find out they made very few of these ambush in that pattern. I found a pair of trail pants in max4 but can only find the ambush in mossy oak shadow grass which imo is too dark , better than their breakup but still dark. I can however get the Wading jacket and the Snake River jackets in the max4 but... the Wading jacket has the cargo pockets up high making them useless for an archer and the neoprene sleves look like velcro which everyone knows is noisy, especially the extra velcro hanging around. The Snake River jacket I really like it has a clean front and is $60 less than the ambush :0 but.....its damn hood is on permanant which I sorta hate , I figured I could just cut it off like the roll up collars since the fabric will not fray or tear at all .the samples they sent me are cut and I see no problem cutting the hood off lol. Am I crazy to think that
I am going to call to see if there are any warmness differences in the $60 difference in price. Do you think I should go for the pattern I want or just settle for the shadow grass ? Maybe buy the snake river in the max4 and see what I think about the hood before doing surgury on it ? buy the wading jacket in max4 and just dont use the cargo pockets and hope the sleeves are quiet? lol Help
hit hunting gear and original h2p to see the jackets
