I've owned the Stormshelter jacket for 3 years now and have worn it probably 5-6 times each hunting season, and I use it while fly fishing often. I think its really well made and durable, but the pockets make no sense to me and I think this is really where the jacket is a let down. They are on a diagonal angle running from the zipper up towards each armpit. As someone who prefer to keep hands in pockets while hunting, I find the location of the pockets to be incredibly strange and uncomfortable. And the worst part is that when its raining and you are using the pockets, since they are on the front side of the jacket the water runs right into the pocket and collects. Every time I wear this jacket in the rain, I have the same exact thought, I cant wrap my head around how these pockets make sense. I really do enjoy the jacket much more when fly fishing where use of the pockets is infrequent.

I just got to try my jacket on ann elk hunt. No rain but super windy and cold used it as a shell worked amazingly well, absolutely love the fit.
I’m a size large 200 pounds 5’9” and was able to run the Uncompahgre puffy underneath it and it wasn’t too tight at all. The material isn’t too noisy. The one and only the reason I give it four stars instead of five stars is the cuffs around the wrist, they’re a little snug it would be nice if they made them just a little bit bigger with the Velcro adjustment, but I found they worked fine otherwise.
All in all, I am very happy with the jacket pleased on how it fits when you need to wear extra installation underneath for glassing etc.. Nice to have something that I can depend on to keep warm and dry!

Let me start by saying this is an extremely waterproof jacket that works great for fishing, turkey hunting, rifle hunting, and upland game hunting on rainy days. I'm sure it will be a great rain jacket for western bow hunting since you are on your feet more. Unfortunately, this jacket was not designed with midwestern bow hunters in mind. The features that make it great for other hunting applications don't cross over to bow hunting in a tree stand. The zipper comes up too high on your face so finding your anchor point with a thumb release is difficult. I found myself tucking a corner of the jacket in, but then water dripped down and soaked my chest from the hood. Also, you really cant put your hands in the pockets while sitting in your tree stand, because water gets in along your arms and anything in your pockets gets wet. For bow hunting this year, I ended up wearing my Suppressor jacket instead of the Omen and found that it kept me dry while sitting in the rain. I am 6'2", 230 lbs. and wear an XL.

Very durable, fits true to size. Taking to the Yukon

My husband will love this! Great color and quality jacket.
