Parka for COLD sits.

[checkerfred]

The incinerator jacket and bibs are legit i use it coyote hunting here in sub zero weather. Hike out put on and call the coldest was -25 with wind chill and it kept me nice and warm feet not so much

How quiet are these? I've looked at them but the reviews have me worried that they are too loud for whitetail hunting especially bow hunting

As I have gotten older the old circulatory system has slowed down and I find I get cold easier. For the longest time I kept thinking I would get the LPP, but after having read these reviews I'm unsure now. I know Tanya Avery loves her's. I've seen some crazy expensive jackets, like the feathered friends ones that are like $800 .....If I need that to hunt in then its better that I stay home...lol.
The few that stand out for me are the LPP, Sitka Incinerator, First lite Sanctuary. Are there any others I should take another look at???

Check out the Sitka Kelvin Down WS Hoody

I found the pullover LPP warmer than the kelvin down WS, and also weighs less

I own both the Kifaru LPP and the Sitka Kevin Down WS. I find the Sitka Kelvin Down WS to be the next level of warmth compared to the Kifaru LPP. That being said I love both jackets and find them both very warm. I also love that I can layer my Sitka Kelvin Down WS over my Sitka Kelvin Lite Hoody when I get really cold.

Its brushed so pretty quiet but i think it would work in a blind for sure and a tree stand maybe i dont spend any time in tree stands so hard to say for me

That North Face jacket looks promising

Has anyone used the makenzie mountain parka (I think that’s the name) from midway USA? It’s event withlike 200 grams of primaloft. I have been thinking about a good parka for whitetail hunting in the fridged cold of northern Michigan and it would be nice to not have so many layers but just a good overcoat maybe something I could also ice fish in and stuff like that.

incinerator for me, I either pack it in or just wear a single thin layer with it wide open on the way in, best I've used

For stand hunting I'm surprised no one mentioned the Fanatic jacket from Sitka. That thing is super warm, wind stopper, quiet, hand warmer pocket, harness pass through, and... on sale now lol. The grunt tube pocket, range finder pocket are well thought out. Don't want to hike in it at all though. The next step up is the Incinerator. I have an incinerator hat and if I ever lost it I would replace it immediately. I can only imagine how warm the incinerator or blizzard jackets would be.

I second this, warmest jacket and bibs I have used. I have never wore more then a heavy base layer and have been warm for hours in blizzard conditions.

Am still not any closer to making a decision on a good cold weather jacket. Narrowed it down to these. Kifaru LPP, Sitka Incinerator, Sitka Kelvin down WS hoody, First lite Chamberlin, Kuiu super down pro, Kryptek....haven't seen one that trips my trigger.
Might make a trip to REI and see what they have.

Hey gang. Looking at a couple cold weather coat/parka options. What's the consensus regarding the Lost Park,and the Aegis Extreme? I read a review here on the forum for the Kifaru parka. Good analysis. I'm not super concerned with how packable either one is. More concerned with how warm and durable either is. Quietness may be as,if not more important. I have my Colorado deer tag in hand,and an elk hunt planned for 2019. Aside from that it will see much more time on close quarters eastern deer stand. Your input will be much appreciated.

For out west I strongly recommend the Kelvin Down WS hoody. It is a Gore wind stopper and is made for sitting in the bone chilling wind. I have personally used this myself and I can honestly say I have never been so warm.

I would also say the Incinerator jacket for eastern hunting. It will be a Gortex Jacket in the Elevated II pattern. I was able to use it last year in Nebraska on a white tail hunt. It was -10 out and I was completely dry and warm.

I realize you're primarily looking for a jacket recommendation but something I've used to stay warm while on stand for the last 15-20+ years is the Heater Body Suit. Again, this is for a deer stand situation or a location where you don't need to move around too much - but I simply offer it for your consideration. The rifle deer season in northern Minnesota is often extremely cold...coldest morning this year was at least 5 below - and I was warm. I'm typically a "before dawn" to dusk hunter and this item allows me to hunt in comfort the whole day. I put my food and thermos inside (alongside my legs) and this helps contain human odors as well. Hope this helps...

Frontier Gear of Alaska Super Cub Jacket. Super warm. Bomb proof material. Waterproof. It is a bit heavier than the LPP but the fact that it is waterproof too sold me on it.
