New Parka Wanted which brand?
I am consdering MT050 from Cabelas, Stand Hnter wool from Cabelas and Arctic Zone M1. I love late season hunting and staying on stand all day no matter what. I had the revolution fleece but it seems less warm every year. Need opinions and experiences please.

Arctic Shield has a parka that may be what you're looking for , I remember seeing a post about it in the Hunting gear forum . Try a search there . If it works as good as their boot blankets it would be well worth the money .

Before you purchase something you may want to take a look at the Heater Body Suits. I have used mine while sitting all day in below zero temperatures and have never gotten cold. If you are looking for a product that you can use for other things also, then this probably isn't for you.

I got a parka from Day One Camo in Predator gray. I've hunted in 0 deg. weather and not been uncomfortable. It's the warmest thing I own. It'sfleece with windstopper. I layer underneath depending on conditions.
They'll make them from fleece or wool, depending on your preference.

Shadowear Archers Jacket out of Canada, I believe the Archers Nook carries them at a great price, I purchased mine locally, paid more but am still very pleased. Have used Cabela's Browning etc. and found this superior. I dont know if they have a website yet but didnt when I purchased. Just checked they do now have a website.
