After seeing the good review by another TOO forum member I ordered a pair. My other Cabelas insulated coveralls are almost 25 yrs. old. But they have served me good thoughout out the years. They been to Alaska for bear, Canada for bear, WY for elk, CO for elk and every year here in Ohio for deer. Plus I wear them around the farm. They have no wear problems what so ever except 2 spots were I melted them getting too close to a heater.
But I thought it was time to up grade.
My impression of the new coveralls as I tried them out today.
1. Very well made and weighs 10.5 lbs..
2. I like the extra insulation in the body core area and seat area.
3. The mid-thigh leg zippers are nice, the hood works good, the 5 zippered pockets are OK. And the snapped on hand warmer muff is really nice as you can install a handwarmer unit.
4. Since I'm 5-10 and weigh 230 I bought the XL size.
5. I must say the XL size is the smallest XL sized coveralls I've ever had.
6. If I hadn't lost 25 lbs. this year I wouldn't have been able to zip it up.
It fits like a very tight glove. I doubled checked the sizing to make sure the tag was wrong. It wasn't.
7. I only had on light weight insulators, work pants, denim shirt and a light dress sweater.
If they would have a XXL size I would sent it back for a exchange. But XL is the largest they have.
Overall I'm impressed with the unit. I sat out back on my overlook today and had 15-20 MPH wind on my back with no problem. A friend came and I'm about 75 yds. from the house and I didn't hear him and he left after shoveling my front sidewalk. I also didn't hear my phone ring in my pants pocket.
If anyone is thinking of buying these coveralls I would recommend going to the store and try them on of you are close by.
