What happened to BWB wool pants and coats?

Allegedly he wore mostly rubber suits to be as scent free as possible.

Most of his pictures actually look quite similar. He's almost always wearing what looks like rain gear.

With mirrors and cameras on top of his rubber boots I heard. He got pinched because he wore the get up to a Lake Michigan beach and people got suspicious.

Placed my order today. I’m still in FL so I asked them to delay shipping until I get back up north. I’ll post a review when I get it.

Received my jacket a week ago. Honestly, I’m not that crazy about it.

Pros:
- Good fit, mostly. I’m 5’8” 180lbs, large feels good on me except the arm length which is long, but I have short arms so it’s expected.
- Two magazine pockets are nice
- Large game pouch style pocket in back

Cons:
- Zipper is on the wrong side. Really STAGR, what did you get a deal on them or something??
- Zippers on the lower hand pockets. Cold metal on my wrists when my hands are cold and I put them in my pockets. No need for zippers there.
- Upper back and shoulders are not double layer will like a traditional shirt jac. There is a thin nylon lining but I don’t think it will stand up to rain or wet snow like a shirt jac does.
- Cuffs have a snap closure but the sleeve above is open for like 4” like a dress shirt is. WTF, on a cold windy day my wrists will freeze. If I keep it my wife will have to sew that closed for sure.
- As has been mentioned I received a fleece orange cape, not wool. If it was wool I guess that would be the second layer on the back/shoulders.

More cons than pros at this point. Im gonna contact Stagr, if they pony up a wool cape I may keep it and see how I like it this fall.

Is it a European company? I noticed all Euro zippers are on the opposite side from ours. Like they are all left handed over there or something.

You probably should of tried a Big Woods Bucks Jacket/Coat. The only complaints I've seen with them are short sleeves and late shipping. The sleeves may be perfect for you.

No, they are based in central VT.

No, they are based in central VT.

Generally speaking, women’s clothing has zippers that are opposite of men’s. Correct me if I’m wrong…

You are correct Mow. In fact, my wife commented when I tried it on “it’s a women’s jacket” lol.

On the website it says the jacket is a “product of Canada”.
Isn’t Stagr a Hal Blood thing, or is it someone else?

Hal is with BWB products.

I have a BWB jacket that I have been happy with. My only complaint is that the orange wool vest has faded. I do find it is a bit warm for a Tracking jacket.

My other jacket is an LL Bean Jac shirt. I added snaps to it so I can put on my BWB orange vest. I find the weight is perfect for just about all types of weather. The only thing I dislike about it is the lack of pockets.

 

[medrhunter]

I got the large jacket.
Its a bit tight for me. I'm 5 9 / 175 so large is usually good.
They are going to send me an XL when they come in.
My complaint is the pockets. They are all vertical zipper and relatively small, including the rear pouch.
I prefer horizontal top flap with snaps
Supposed to get a wool vest and it came in fleece and too dark to be legal.
They said they'll swap that as well
I'll decided when the xl gets here. Jury is still out

Great reviews guys.

Great reviews guys.

Should we have a product review forum? Keep each thread to a specific product Like "OnX Hunt App", "Stagr Tracking Jacket", "Iris Setter Mudtrek Boot". Anything goes, Tires, vehicles, etc.

That does seem like a good idea.

I've read other complaints about the "darkness" or shade of the fleece cape. I didn't think it was much of a "blaze" orange either. That said, do you really think any warden would give you a hard time over it?
