Do you want a hunting jacket or rain jacket. Tahr made the worthy comment... rain jacket buy a dairy jacket like the dairy cockies use.

Had a Stretch rubber hooded jacket the cockys use , it was good but didn't breath and the Zip broke & not that warm ,an ex army poncho which could double as a ground sheet was light and 100% water proof that was ok , spent 400$ on a H & F Gortex with stealth layer that was the best , but eventually the seams unglued and leaked after 4 duck seasons by far the warmest and most comfortable .

What’s the draw card of an odyssey vs halo/stow it for example? Like the size of the halo when packed. Would only be north island hunting and options I’m looking at are halo/stow it $120ish, HE storm $200 then HE odyssey at $400. Didn’t like fit and feel of other options.

Any relevant info would be appreciated.
