Some of you may remember awhile back, that I posted a couple of questions about wading jackets. Well, I finally made my purchase. I opted for the Cabela's Dry Plus wading jacket (size 3xl). It arrived yesterday -- and immediately I was impressed with all of the features of the jacket. However, the fit was HORRIBLE. The jacket looked like a regular xl, not an xxxl. So I called Cabela's and inquired about the size. They apologized and I sent it back. I was curious if the jacket came in a Tall. However, after checking it did not. So, with that, I decided to spend the extra $$$ and get the Cabela's Goretex Wading jacket in 3xl-tall.
It arrived this morning. The fit is considerably different -- i really don't think the 3xl i got in the Dry Plus was the right size, as this one is ALOT bigger in the chest. But I am sort of disappointed, as the Dry Plus Jacket had NICER features (including a back pocket (maybe to hold a net???), but the Gortex jacket does not have that feature. The Goretex jacket is noticeably heavier than the dry-plus jacket though -- so perhaps better in cold weather. The Neoprene cuffs in both jackets look like they will server a purpose well. And the hood does not appear to be that obtrusive. I will let you all know how it field tests, when I get out in the rain.
