Cabela's Dry-Plus® Super Slam® Elite™ Fleece Insulated Parka

It took me quite a bit to finally make this purchase.  The price had me hesitant, but I was not disappointed.

This parka is perfect in the 3 major categories:  warmth, quietness, and waterproofing effectiveness.

Trust me when I tell you that I’ve tried many different types of jackets and parkas and was never fully satisfied until I found this parka at Cabelas.

My specific parka is the Realtree AP HD with 60 grams of Thinsulate in the hood and sleeves, 100 grams of Thinsulate in the front, and 200 grams of Thinsulate in the back and sides.  It also has underarm zippers to let out heat, which I have found works great on those long walks.  It also has a removable hood, plenty of pockets, a draw-cord at the waist, and a storm flap by the zipper.  The Velcro on the sleeves locks in the warmth.

Inside the parka, the patented Scent-Lok technology keeps your scent in, making it hard for animals to pick you up.  This specific parka is not bulky and is very easy to move in.   The parka comes in a tall size, so it fits me perfectly.

One of my favorite little things with this parka is that it has rubber-gripped zippers, making it easy to zip up and unzip with gloves on.

My only wish would be that Cabelas would offer this same parka in snow-camo.  It would be great for winter predator hunting.  Either way, you can throw some white cover-up over this to be just as effective.  I am always surprised at the lack of snow-camo available, but that is a topic for another day!

With this parka, I found that you need to spend the money to get the best quality product.  If you make the decision to spend the extra money, you will not be disappointed.
