Cabelas Stand Hunter Extreme Clothing Review


Cruizin for Fish

Recommended Posts

Thought I would provide an opinion of my new Stand Hunter Extreme clothing from Cabelas. I headed to the Owatanna Cabelas in search of extremely warm and comfortable hunting clothing. I tried on every jacket in the store and when I put the Stand Hunter Extreme on - it felt like finally finding the vehicle you have been looking for - you just know. It was incredibly soft, quiet, and comfortable. Luckily I had built up my Cabelas Club points from the Cabelas Visa Club Card and spent little cash on it. I followed it up a month later with the bibs. Well - I tried them out this past hunting season and let me tell you - INCREDIBLE ! I have never been so comfortable and warm as I was this year. It comes with an attached hand muff that has space for hand warmers - man have I missed out all these years by not having the hand muff. During the season, it rained, snowed, was windy, and at times cold - the suit weathered it all. It is definately for stand hunting - it is quite heavy and you can get very hot within a short period of walking. So - I give the Cabelas Stand Hunter Extreme an A+. It is quite spendy but by far the best outfit I have had in over 20 years of hunting the majestic whitetail. grin.gif

I just went out to the Cabelas HSOforum and checked this out. They have some good ideas with the pockets for hand warmers. I may have to check these out on my annual trip to Cabelas. I've lusted after one of those heater body suits for years... Both are kind of spendy but if you only wear them a few times a year, and they last for 25 years, it really isn't that much per year. And if they keep you warm on stand.... I'm talking myself into it! smile.gif

thanks for the review, i've had my eye on this suit since my cabelas catalog came this summer....

on a side note, cabelas has added product reviews to their HSOforum, it's pretty nice to see what other people think of the products after purchase

Interesting - I did not know about their reviews - believe me, trying the outfit on is the only way to go - I could not believe it when I first put my hands on it - very well designed, functional, definately built with many hunters input taken into consideration. I have spent my hunting career in sub-par gear and like blackjack mentioned when they last 25 years it is not such a bad investment. My new gear makes me wonder what took me so long to purchase such good quality!

I bought the bibs for that outfit this year, and I will definitely be buying the parka next year. My legs and torso have never been so warm. They are without a doubt the best bibs I've ever worn. There are two problems with them though--#1 they are definitely made for the cold--you simply can't wear them in moderate temperatures as you will get way too hot and sweat really bad. #2 they are absolutely horrible if you hunt in places with a lot of cockaburrs or beggar lice. I have spent many hours already picking the scurge of the faunal world off of them. One last note--they are the quietest clothing I've ever had on as well. I too would give them an A+. They just can't be beaten for extreme cold and quietness.

God Bless,

Tom W

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
