I can't really comment as my jacket is around 10 years old (but I love it, it's an old Gander Guide Series H2O jacket), but I haven't heard all that great reviews of Drake stuff.

That's all I got, sorry.

I'm the same as Goldie- Gander Mtn H2O 4-in-1, about 7 years old, and good as new.

Is yours the old school shadow grass? Mine is and I haven't found anything it doesn't blend into yet. The new shadow grass, not so much.

No, it's Max-4. Very durable coat, though.

Ive got the same. For the price its pretty hard to beat. Lots of pockets to fill with organs whenever I get a deer and its comfortable under my waders when im shooting waterfowl

I have a Drake 3 in 1. I got it on sale for 40% off. Have had it for a couple of years now and no complaints. Warm and dry. Granted I do not hunt in anything colder than the middle 20's I live in Texas but I do stay warm and dry for our weather.

Thank you. I had a look but its looking expensive on shiping, i think it most practical to buy another rivers west the shiping is just killing the whole idea for me.
