I have their trail pants and back country jacket.I hunted in them quite a bit this year.Over all I am pleased with them..I wouldn't consider them light.They are rugged,very quiet for the most part.You will get hot if you have a lot of steep climbing.They could breathe a little better.They aren't perfect but I have yet to find better!
I bought the backcounrty, I believe, and it I am very satisfied up to now. I wore it in the snow during T-Day with just a thermo, fleet and the jacket. I didn't get cold on my stand. I haven't try it in the rain yet. I will next year. It rain a lot in the NW, that's why I have been searching for the right protection. Depends on your purpose, this could be the one. Good luck.
I sent away for a catalog from their web site and got a sample of the material with it. Very light weight and flexible. I'm thinking of giving them a try for this years hunt.
I got the email on the sale Rivers West is having& it's just on the Back Country Jacket, but for 50% off I ordered one& it should be hear any day. I've been very inmpressed with there products so far.
How do you figure it is neoprene?? I sell it, it is a great product, it does not breathe the best but how picky can you get? It is meant for rugged hunting... being in the rain all day or having snow come down so thick you cant see the tip of your nose... I think this is one the best products to hit the market for what it does. Gore Tex doesnt come close.. Gore will leak over a short period of time with pressure on givin areas. Not Rivers West.
Thats my 2 cents.
