This year I am looking to get a new duck hunting coat, mostly because the one I have now sucks. I have a been looking at a couple of different coats and camo patterns, and wanted to get some opinions on what works best.
Nat Gear: I have been looking really hard at nat gear, but I am not sure about the quality or the pattern yet. If they are good, then Nat Gear is kind of the front runner. Some places say they have taped seams, but they don't list them as a feature on their web site. I have a tried emailing them, and they haven't responded. Also, does that camo pattern work for out in the frag? It seems like it would be great for sagebrush type areas, but it wouldn't blend in well in the frag.
Shadow Grass: I really like the shadow grass pattern, but the only quality gear that seems to have it is the browning dirty bird line. Any experience with either of those?
ASAT: This seems to be a good all around pattern, but there isn't really any waterfowl stuff in it. The best I can seem to find is the waterproof shell by First Light.
Sitka: I like the pattern and the quality, but man is it expensive. I would rather not have a to pay the money if there is a less expensive option.
Thanks guys, I am really interested in feed back from people that have used Nat Gear while duck hunting locally, but I would love any general feedback about the stuff listed about.
Let me just say that I am not a fan of Max 4 (too dark) and Max 5 just seems worse. I also know that sitting still is the most important aspect, just to get that out of the way. ;-)
