Default remington clothes

I need clothes for my girlfriend for her first deer season. I don't want to invest in a set o f brwoning for clumbia coat and bibs yet since i don't know if this will be a one time thing. does anybody have any experience with the remington line of hunting clothes? I've seen the parkas at wal-mart for $70. (i'm not a fan of wal-mart). the clothes are made by the Brinkman Coproration. the parka claims in the tag to be windproof and waterproof. it's insulated with 70% down and 30% feathers. i think that the down is a good warm insulator. i have down liners from browning and columbia and they are super warm.
any opinions?

Default RE: remington clothes

i have one of the remington "6 in 1" parkas from Walmart....sounds identical to the one your looking at...

for the money, it would be hard to beat. i wear it a good bit when im not in my scentlok. it is pretty waterproof and if worn all together, it is WARM. VERY warm. i usually just wear the shell. Fabric isnt REAL great...its the kind that isnt real breathable, a bit noisy, etc...but it works and will keep her warm and dry for a pretty good price...really cant touch something like that for that kinda money...

i love the 6 in 1 feature...you end up basically zipping 2 jackets togehter...but it works well and is easy to do once you figure it out...the sleeves zip off the inside down jacket which makes it a vest, and both jackets are reversible to a somewhat casual look if you wanted...

ive had mine about 2 years and no complaints...cant complain bout something like that that cheap...
