Hi,
I am in need of a warm green olive winter parka, extended cut for those really cold, windy winter driven hunts. I am 187 cm tall and 84 kg so fairly slim. I allways find hunting jackets have either too short sleeves for me or they are oversized in waist and chest. Which brand would you suggest would be the best fit for a tall slim person. I am thinking brands like Harkila, Parforce, Swedteam, Carinthia, Fjallraven etc, so quality stuff.
Any help will be appreciated.
Have a nice evening.
 
For driven hunts i would recommend an Ansitz sac which you can zip off the bottom. They keep you really warm but still able to move.

It’s not do much your upper body that gets cold its from your waist down. I have also found a good lodden cape / blanket wrapped around your waist really helps keep out the cold.

Ex Austrian Army Coat - cheap, very well made, very warm and comfortable, one I’m happy to get a bit muddy and bloody, rather than spend lots more. Seeland do good quality good value as well.

That Chinese coat looks like throwaway tatt. Sorry to say it and no offence intended.

Literally zero offence taken. It does look like that. I was surprised how good it is. It’s exceptionally warm. They must have access to a lot of ducks to get the down!

Off to Toronto just now and confident it will keep me warm.

Our main winter coat was devised for a civilian, rather than a military role. It has been in use for more than twenty years and has been tested in every shooting environment from Iceland to The Falklands. It attracts nothing but favourable comparison with every competitive product and contains many features. More important than the features, however, is the rugged reliability of the coat – it is large and strong, multi-layered, but still fairly light for what it actually does. The coat was built to withstand the worst that the weather can throw at you - and it does exactly that. Many of our coats last well over a decade, even with mainly winter usage. Remember, this is effectively three garments in one – as ever, copied by many and bettered by none.

Can't comment on how warm it is but I have a fjallraven skogsö jacket in XL that fits well (not to baggy) and has relatively long sleeves. I'm 191 tall so I also struggle with sleeve length sometimes.

I’m surprised how mild it is actually but sees to be getting colder. But I’m loving it what a great city and what great people. And now I’ve found Canadian Tire in the mall I’m a happy man. Will be bringing home a buck knife or two.

Watched a nail biter last night with the raptors winning by two points. What an experience!
