Default Rocky Pro Hunter Quad Parka

Just bought myself a new Rocky Pro hunter Quad Parka this week. I'll start out by saying that I'm one of the biggest wimps around when it comes to being cold. During the hunting season when the temps fall below 35 degrees I wear polypropelene thermals, jogging pants, standard camo pants, and insulated bibs. Upper body gets the poly thermals, a heavy sweatshirt, medium weight jacket, and a heavy coat. The coldest weather I hunted in this season was 27 degrees and I was freezing within 20 minutes. Tonight I went out and sat in a stand behind my house for 30 minutes with just a pair of pants, my insulated bibs, a t-shirt, and the new Rocky parka. The temp was 26 degrees. After 10 minutes my legs were slightly chilly. After 20 minutes my legs were coooold. After 30 minutes my legs were so cold they were getting numb. From the waist up I was completely warm and cozy. Rocky makes a pair of bibs to go along with the parka and you can bet I'll have those too before next hunting season.
