    its not the "Brand" that matters. US made gear seems to hold together better and their customer service is generally awesome.
    Their gear is likely made in the same factories its just unlike in NZ they have learned that the "make it as cheap as you can and sell it for maximum price and run away if there is an issue or if it falls apart" sales model is not a good one.

    My Sitka stuff is really good and worn most every day, my Stoney Creek Shooters jacket has been worn far less often and the closures (domes) have gone and it leaks) it was not much cheaper than the Sitka. I have had 3 Stowat jackets in the same time frame, they are good for what they are.
    The only thing I dont like about the American stuff is all the jackets are short length

    I buy my Sitka Stuff from these guys /safarisupply.co.nz when / if I spot it on clearance deal

    Hi. Any idea what your jacket is? I am also looking for a new waterproof option.

    Rain ger from any hunting brand is top dollar but I would think it will work I'm still too tight to buy Sitka Stuff at $1000 bucks for their Stormfront Jacket and similar for the pants I would hope it also shot, gutted and carried out your deer while you had a coffee
