Anyone else get a little uneasy over joining to be a “Swazi Clan Member”?... Might should’ve come up with a better name!
You're welcome!
Swazi gear is awesome, built like a tank, nice and quiet and price is great due to the currency conversion.

Hunting Hoody

+1 on the Kenai Jacket. I have been using mine going on 5 seasons and its held up amazingly. Needs a wind breaking layer over for sitting still it but its great insulation
I like this but no pockets?

The main point of the hoody is the front pocket. That hand warmer built right in. I would take the connected front pocket over a hood actually.
Someone needs to make a pullover like the Asbell pathfinder that is wind proof, covered zipper by face, pit zips, draw string hood and bottom, in either wool or fleece with an awesome hand warmer pocket (possibly a removable liner for the pocket). Jackets are a dime a dozen.

I don't entirely disagree but then shouldn't it be called a pockety instead of a hoody?

I would buy two pocketys right now. lol.
So I'm going to start on my hoodie next week. I found a green prepper pattern for an anorak. I'm going to try and make 1 sized to fit. If that turns out, I'll then make an insulated 1. Should I insulate it or just make a puffy style jacket and just use it like a Columbia style jacket (insulation can be removed)? I see the pros and cons of both.

Good catch. I thought it had side pockets. That is a deal breaker for me. I need them pockets.
What about broadside camo offerings?
Broadside Camo
Hunting camouflage for the modern hunter. Bow Hunters, Rifle Hunters, and sportsman alike love the light weight and wicking materials used by Broadside Camo.

Interesting but no connected hand warmer pocket? No thanks.
I think the best that I have seen so far is one of the Asbell products.
Anyone have experience with the First Lite Sawtooth Hybrid Jacket? It's not quite the hoody we've been discussing here, but seems like it could be a great alternative. Asking because it's 20% off on their website right now, so would be a decent time to buy, if so.
It’s a solid piece in their line...the shoulder construction is a bit snug (at least on me) and restricting...so, I buy Medium in everything First Lite (minus the Sanctuary set which I went with large)...but I got the sawtooth in a medium and the shoulders were extremely uncomfortable...had to size up...so you may want to bump a size over your normal size to get it to fit correctly...but it’s a great piece...I wear it as an outer layer in October and a mid layer in November, December, and January.
I like my Skre Mad Trapper Hoodie..... Super comfy!

I actually just put my warmer hunting clothes in my storage unit, but I need to go by there this weekend so I'll get a couple pics then.
