I have one arriving in the next day or 2. I’ll let you know how it seems.No, I swear I look at their website every single day. I sent them an email asking about wind blocker in the verdigre. I did receive a really quick reply, which was good and rare. I was told that they didn't want wind blocker in the lighter weight stuff and that by nature of the fabric being dense it is probably 70% wind proof anyway. Wouldn't probably notice it until 25-30 mph or so. It definitely has my eye.
Thanks. Watched a couple of videos on youtube. Seems like a nice piece or gear. (Looks more like a heavier "parka" than what I think of when I hear the word "hoodie" - which is probably why they called it an "anorak".)Haven't actually weighed it but it is pretty heavy.
Oh yeah. This fits squarely in the I-wouldn't-think-about-wearing-this-around-the-house-on-a-Saturday-after-the-season-is-over category. That's what the new Nomad Durawool hunting hoodie I bought from @GCTerpfan is for!Thanks. Watched a couple of videos on youtube. Seems like a nice piece or gear.

Any thoughts?I have one arriving in the next day or 2. I’ll let you know how it seems.
I’ve been hesitant to post because I wouldn’t call this a review but rather first impressions. Seems like an excellent product, very high quality, but I am going to return it.Any thoughts?
I wouldnt call that a bad first impression. The piece may not meet your needs but that is a problem with online sales where you cant handle something before purchase.I’ve been hesitant to post because I wouldn’t call this a review but rather first impressions.

Here are some thoughts-
For reference I am 6’1” 230lb
I wear XL for almost everything but I thought it seemed a bit snug. I think I would be fine wearing it alone but I wouldn’t be able to layer anything under it. I was expecting it to be a bit ‘softer’ like a fanatic jacket but instead it was more ‘wooly’. It turns out the Hoody uses a slightly different material than the warmer garments COS offers. After receiving it I looked closer and it is clearly noted on their website this is the case but it just wasn’t what I expected. What I liked the least was the lack of stretch, which again is perhaps to be expected with wool but I’ve gotten accustomed to First Lite and everything I own had a lot of stretch and I never feel restricted. This was the first thing I noticed and what I liked the least.
I could see a lot of guys loving it. It’s got tapered arms and seems it would be quite warm. I hate to give a bad first impression to an upstart company, but those were my initial thoughts. I’ve communicated with the owner and he seems like an awesome guy. I’d recommend reaching out if your interested.
let me know if you have any specific questions and I’ll try to answer
Agree. But the nice part is they have no questions asked free returns so they do make space for people to try their stuffI wouldnt call that a bad first impression. The piece may not meet your needs but that is a problem with online sales where you cant handle something before purchase.
I have an older set of Rivers West jacket and bibs (15-20 yrs.) that I would recommend with out reservation.Rivers West Men's Isolation Waterproof Windproof Fully https://a.co/d/cWf2pPh
Anybody got experience with rivers west jackets?
Was thinking about the ambush jacket but this one’s half the price. Says it’s wind and waterproof and should be a good outer layer over some insulation.

The nice thing about the outerwear is it is quiet, (fleece like), stretches a little, wind and some what water proof.
I layer up underneath and know I will be comfortable all day.
The newer stuff seems to have and additional insulation incorporated into the material.
I only ever use it gun hunting, but maybe because of age it has "quieted" down.I got the jacket and have used it a couple sits. It was dead calm those days and that thing is pretty loud. If I moved it crunched. Maybe with more use it’ll quieten up or with more wind it won’t be bad but I won’t be using it bow hunting for now.
