Thread: What Jacket next?

Having looked at a lot of the Stoney Creek stuff, I have to say it seems really well put together. I've talked to a few people who own Stoney Creek gear and they all rave about their jackets etc. I'm sure Sitka and Kuiu is good, and on paper their specs are impressive (well Kuiu anyway, Sitka doesn't seem to be doing anything worth raving about), but they're super expensive, same with Gortex products. Depending on what I bought, I wouldn't have much change out of $1500 if I bought a Sitka jacket and a Gortex raincoat. I could buy a 4WD Pajero for that.

Anyway thanks for your frank opinion, but as cost is a factor, I really can't afford Sitka, Swazi, or Kuiu.

I'm trying to do as much research as possible, but it's hard to find relevant specs and comparisons between one fabric and another, one product or another...etc.

Mind you that's why I started this post, so I'm grateful for all opinions.

Best Regards
Campbell
