Nice looking jacket, cheap for GTX Paclite.

I've never had a problem ordering from Cabelas or with their own brand of gear.

TownDawg,

do you wear tall? If you do, I just don't
remember you being taller than me.

Thought there might be some gear
specific reason for you to choose tall if
you normally wear regular.

Town Dawg?
Joe Pye: Nope, Town Dawg's a different person, and it sounds like he's a lot shorter than me (at 6'2" I've gotta buy the tall size).

I definately need some new rain gear; I'm not sure if my current set have more coated nylon or duct tape holding out the rain. I've been looking at quite a few brands and these seem to be about the best bargin I can find, plus they're made in tall sizes.

MDSHiker: As for the weight, I e-mailed Cabela's customer service to see what the weight of both the parka and rainpants are, and I also want to find out if the pants have full side zippers. Haven't heard back from them yet.

They are a little heavier than comparable products, but they're also a littel cheaper and (for me) come in tall sizes. This might be my choice . . .
