Thread: Stoney creek

I haven't used any stoney creek stuff so can't comment directly about it.

I've seen a bunch of posts on here by people who buy the hunting brand jackets and then bash them in short order. Most of those hunting brands use layering systems, yet people bash the jackets due to not breathing, not being waterproof, not being warm enough, etc, etc. In my experience there is no "all-round" jacket. I can't recall seeing a post from someone bashing the whole system, just these endless "so and so jacket is crap" type posts.

Read plenty of bad things about the Hunters Element Extreme XTR jacket or whatever the hell the one I have is called. To me it's been great though. It's not warm unless you have warm clothes underneath it. It's water/windproof, packs down small and has awesome pockets and heat vents. That's all it's designed for. It doesn't surprise me people slam it for not being warm enough or not breathing.

I guess all i'm saying is I appreciate Toby's posts and use whatever jacket you buy the way it's designed and with the other layers it's designed to be used with .
