| I live in SD, and have found multicam to be an excellent pattern for the terrain here most of the year. Im looking for a quality jacket thats waterproof and warm enough for 10-20 degrees F. A set of pants would be nice too. Any reccomendations? |
|
Otte........
Alpine jacket... Alpine pants.... Patrol parka.... Patrol pants.... Propper........ Level V jacket..... Level V pants.... Level VI jacket.... Level VI pants.... Thats about all thats currently available that I know of. There are a few other offerings, but they arent out yet. |

yeah I haven't been able to justify the cost of these yet. You are going to have to have plenty of layers under those to handle 10-20 degrees, I would think
Atlantco, I think, is making a "ecws" multi cam jacket that is about $ 80. But I have heard it is kind of crappy. |

Anyone have experience with this jacket? Its a little more in my price range. http://www.uscav.com/Productinfo.aspx?productID=16984&TabID=548 |

Please post a review in my thread if you have one and have used it. I would like to be able to offer a full thread of real information about this. Also, there is no jacket in the 80$ range, you will notice that if you want an "adult" sized one that fits, it will be 120$ Shop arround, you can find them cheaper. Thanks |

Jezz, it's not THAT bad. it's interesting to see the Arfcom irony in action: the $120 one is crappy, but I don't want to spend $$$ to get the better one 
as someone who own's one of the 'better' i.e. expensive, ones, the OTTE, it's not all that. dare I say it, there are features on the tru-spec one that I like better. there are also these ones please note that it's from Canada and the tru-spec one ( that cost $120 ) is listed for $200  so....
there is this also |

or just go back several pages and LOOK at the threads that are already posted
with my shitty dial-up, it only 5 min's to scan through all the pages

If you read the post that you quoted you'll see I didn't say anything about not buying the more expensive stuff. I bought the Tru-Spec stuff because I was able to get it very cheap (new, not used). I didn't think it would be the most awesome thing ever––it was just not that great. The tape was bunched up in a few places, didn't cover some seams (as in not straight), and the zippers don't like to work. Plus, the liner is stitched oddly––the lines aren't straight. |

but there has been a LOT of, "I don't like the cheap one, and don't want to pay $$$ for the good one" lately in this forum..... BTW, I also got the OTTE used for half price  so yeah I did'nt want to pay $$$ for the good one my self , but is was on my 'to do' list and was willing to if I had to

I've got some OTTE gear, and am quite happy with it. My OTTE Soft Shell will see daily use from now until some time when it gets too hot to wear anymore. |
