Cabelas Stand Hunter Extreme Clothing Review

[Cruizin for Fish]

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.

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!

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,
