Why is it that the biggest bucks tend to grow up where it is cold and harsh? Because no one can sit out all day in the cold to hunt them, that's why. Thinking about going up to Saskatchewan after a massive trophy whitetail? Or maybe you're planning a late-season hunt? You're going to want our Stand Hunter Extreme Series of hunting outerwear. No, you're going to need it. Engineered for extreme cold, the parka is made of Cabela's Q-Tec Fabric, which is extremely quiet yet exceptionally warm. Thinsulate™ Supreme Insulation offers a unique blend of warmth and reduced bulk. By varying the weights of the insulation, we created warm-weather outerwear that works with you to keep you warm and mobile. With a well-insulated core, adding extra insulation throughout the sleeves would just add extra bulk. Therefore, we used 150-gram Thinsulate Supreme Insulation to cut down the size and add extra mobility. On top of that, we put in articulated elbows and a low-bulk cuff design. When the torso is insulated, there is greater flow of warm blood to your outer extremities, such as your fingers or toes. Wrapping your body in 200-gram insulation will keep you warm from head to toe. Your core temperature is largely controlled by the spinal column. That's why we've put 300-gram Thinsulate Supreme down the spine and through the kidneys. Storage options include two chest handwarmer pockets, two lower zip-closure cargo pockets, two interior
hoop-and-loop-closure storage pockets, as well as an interior zip-closure security pocket. Under-arm zippers and a two-way front closure zipper allow for venting when walking to and from the stand. Front storm flap, wind-skirt and integrated handwarmer muff provide optimal warmth. Removable handwarmer muff is fleece lined and insulated with 150-gram Thinsulate Supreme and stores in it's own pocket in the back of the parka. Three-piece adjustable, removable hood features 100-gram Thinsulate Supreme. All zippers feature large rubberized pulls for ease of use with gloved hands. Imported.
Sizes: M-3XL.
Camo pattern: Outfitter Camo™.
Wow. You want warm, you got it. Stand hunting in northern Minnesota can get down right frigid. This parka along with the stand hunter bibs will allow you to be in the woods for extended periods of time. There is a little weight to it but is to be expected with a coat of this caliber. Price is no longer a concern when you realize how many features this parka has and how well it performs even in the wind. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED
I'm a Medic in the Film Industry. We travel all over the world making Movies & T.V. I'm on Set usually at 4am and don't leave until after dark. I was tired of layering up only to remain cold until I bought the Stand Hunter Extreme Parka. Now everyone else looks at me cozy each morning as there layers don't keep them as warm as my new Parka from Cabela's Stand Hunter Gear. I stand in exterior locations all day and night waiting for an Accident as a Stunt Medic in the Film Industry many years. I wish I had known about this gear a long time ago. The Jacket fits well as a Regular. I'm 6'1", and in between most Tall & Regular sizes. A Large-Regular size, gives in the right places and covers well in extreme Wind! It out performs Goose-down Jackets by other extreme gear company's by it's technological design, comfort and ease of use. Even if you forget your gloves this Jacket has your back with it's Muff always mounted hidden & present. I have Arthritis, which hurts to the bone in the cold. I know what I'm talking about out on Exterior locations, in 15-35*F conditions, in rain & snow. Layering up is always helpful to prepare for extreme cold, like the Mystery Mesa, a Pig Farm we recently shot for "The Long Ranger". Thats why I purchased a Chamois Shirt from Cabala's also. Now that's layering well for the extreme cold on any Pig Ranch or Mesa. lol. The Berber Parka is warm but for not as cold. It's lighter but doesn't have the warmth of Wootlimate. But was extremely comfortable in the 40*F's! Berber doesn't have the vent opening flaps the Stand Hunter under each arm pit for cooling off a sweaty Hunter or Medic. So I chose warmth over weight.
I got the bib/parka during the past deer season. While not arctic cold, low 20s were cold enough to test them during an archery stand sit. I risked wearing the outfit with only scent prevention apparel underneath, no additional layering to see how well they performed. Was very warm for between 2-3 hours, then could feel a chill. Stayed another hour and my hunt was done for the day. Had I added another layer, I could have handled the last hour with less chill I'm sure! I give 5 stars for that reason, as it would be unreasonable to think 4+ hrs on stand would pass completely warm.
I loved evrything about the parka and bought it. I can say it is easily the warmest piece of clothing I own. I loved the bibs too. All the features were great, but I didn't see myself walking over a mile to my treestand in them without sweating away 20 pounds. I really wanted to buy the bibs too, but opted for the Super-Slams instead so I can move a little more free. They were not as bulky or heavy. If you are going to sit on stand and not walk, these are definately worth every penny. I highly recomend the Stand Hunter Extreme clothing.
