Hello everyone,
I am George and I am from Greece. I have been looking to buy my first hunting jacket/coat for some time so I would like to ask you some questions.
The jacket I found and liked is Kryptek Aegis Jacket. I have seen only possitive comments for it on the forums. On the contrary though I have no idea how it looks like someone wearing one ( so I dont know if it is fitted, long or short etc.) And of course I cannot check its quality myself since there is no Kryptek here in Greece.
The hunt I am doing and I need a jacket for it, is static (we only hunt with shotguns here by the way). Temperatures are 23F - 50F. Usually its not raining when I go hunting, but sometimes things can get a little wet. And it has to be windproof. From what I have read, Kuiu/Sitka/FirstLite/Kryptek are quality brands, but because here we dont use layering system I prefered Kryptek Aegis.
So, I would like to ask you, if you think this is a good decision, if you think there is a better jacket on this price range or cheaper, anyway feel free to comment anything. And if someone is finding it weird to buy from USA, i am informing you that a jacket (for example Gamehide) that costs 80$, in Greece it is being sold for 160-200€.
Thank you very much for reading this and I appreciate any comments that will follow
Regards,
George
 
Why can't you use a layering system in Greece? I thought wearing layers could cross international boundaries! :)

I don't have any personal experience with Kryptek but lots on here do.
 
The Aegis would be too warm for 23-50 degrees F. You would be better served going with the Cadog jacket and use a merino base layer as needed.
 
I was just wearing my Aegis on stand tonight @ 35 degrees. I used it a lot last November, as well. It's a great jacket!

Fits true to size for me, with just enough room for another light layer underneath. It would be way too warm for me if climbing or constantly moving, but it's perfect for still hunting or on stand..."static". Yes, it's wind proof.
