Whitetail Stand Jacket

I'm usually a buy once cry once type of person but I haven't been able to bring myself to spend that kind of coin yet. I guess I'm trying to validate it in my mind and make sure it's not just marketing hype.

I bought the Fanatic bibs and Jacket and wear it all the time. Well worth it imo

What kind of hunting are you doing? Is it miles of access where you have to regulate body temperature, trying not to get sweated up? Layers are your friends. Today it was 21 here and 30-35mph winds. I go in light, setup, layer up and days like today I had to use my goggles, I use an old model jetstream, the durable one. But also had a base layer, gridded fleece, lightweight outter then my jetstream and vest, lower was a base, gridded fleece and first day using my new timberlines, had 400g boots, darn tough midweight socks. 3.7mile trek in. Made a 4 hr sit, had an opportunity on a 150-160” 10.

That's a long hike in! I'm primarily just focusing on archery rut hunting in northern PA. Usually no colder than the 20's with wind in the teens.

Windblocker is a must as well as something that is quiet for archery.

- The sleeves are longer on the riverwolf, and the zone 7 sleeves were a bit short on me (I’m 6’5 240).

- The riverwolf has hood adjustments unlike the zone 7.

- The cut and the actual fabric of the riverwolf feel much more mobile when drawing, reaching, twisting, etc. I felt constricted, especially in the shoulders, in the zone 7. Bc of this I can also layer much more comfortably in the riverwolf.

Those are my biggest advantages with the new jacket. The zone 7 is awesome, but I think my size and frame limited its benefits for me. The riverwolf feels like it was made for close range bow hunting

Do you feel like they handle the same temp ranges? If not, which one will handle the coldest temps?
