jOe - just don't walk thru Texas shinery brush or a mesquite thicket wearing that 10X - unless you want to look like you have been castrating panthers 
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

Wow. This thread is approaching the famous "Best Way to Close a Double" discussion of recent memory. I've never tried the boots, but the low-cut shoes are very comfortable. My only complaint is the soles wore out too fast, but they are replaceable. Waxed cotton is way hot, but repels the briars. I'd rather be sweaty than scratched all to pieces.

I once interviewed years ago for a job with WR Grace, who makes GoreTex. They were really a bunch of egghead liberals up in Maryland. They offered me a job, but I turned it down. Then, they actually to stiff me on part of my travel expenses and hotel room I incurred during the interview. What a bunch of screwballs. I keep away from GoreTex.

Not all their jackets have consistency of beef jerky, but the prices are insane for what amounts to drab Hee-Haw style outfits. The main problem is that those who could benefit from their clothing (like lumberjacks) simply can't afford it.  That English oilskin stuff is half way presentable. I would not wear it on Sundays, but it's not that bad for daily wear. It goes particularly well with that box on wheels called Land Rover.

Murph,
I hung the packer to dry lastnight and weighed it tonight. A good 6 oz lighter from the washing. It's also much more pliable. I expect a few more washes will make it pleasant.

I bought a nice field/barn coat from the Orvis sales tent in the middle of summer - it was good right from the box and saved a hundred bucks on the deal. I'm not a fan of cardboard water-proof material for coats. If it rains, I'll stay home and go out the next day.

If it rains....that's a good day to intertain those big breasted good looking lady land owners.
I hear those Tin Cloth jackets are the ticket in a Duck blind at about 15 degrees...once you raise your gun and hold it there for a few minutes the jacket will take a 'set' then you can relax and let the Tin Cloth hold up your gun.
