New Duck Parka/Jacket
 

It's time.........old Columbia jacket just ain't dry anymore. Got soaked in Canada........

What are you guys buying/wearing?

Frog togg a little big, and layer with high quality base layers and fleece below. Cheap, super dry, easy to pack and transport, and doesn't ruin my day when it gets torn or samthin.

I got a cabelas 3-1 wader jacket and a drake full zip with the fleece on the bottom for when I'm hunting flooded timber so I can tuck it in my waders.

Columbia used to garruntee their coats. Send old coat to them and they would send you a new coat. Worth a try.

They did it for a friend of mine last year. They sent him a brand new 4in1 parka. His was a good 9-10 years old.

I'm going to give this a try. I actually have two. One is old school when Columbia was still in Oregon......it has to be close to thirty years old.
My "new" Quad parka is 18 years old I think.

If the replace these things, I swear I will never buy anything else!!

Kobuk for cold, cheap vinyl stearns for warm.
Frog togs have gotten me wet in real rain.
They are Ok for a light mist.

I couldn't believe it either! His was very old. But not that old. Worth a shot for sure.

Columbia will send you a new coat. Zipper broke on mine after 4 years. Call or email them explaining what is wrong. Will take a while for them to send a new one. Make you have an old back up. But you will get a new coat

I use a Drake Equador which usually is plenty around here. If it's real cold, rainy, or windy I will put my drake rain jacket on over it. All you need in LA.

I hunted in the pouring down rain last year more than once, and never get wet at all.

Wearing what gear for rain protection?

Oops. lol Wearing my frogg togg duster. Forgot that important tidbit. Sorry. lol

Columbia to me is like Shimano rod warranty anything defects they replace it.

jackets sent today...........waiting to see........

well...........verdict is in..........
No jackets in hand yet......But Columbia says they are going to replace BOTH jackets......

Now that is customer service!!

can not beat that at all.......I have a hunting one but in good shape but glad to know I can get it replaced if I need too ever

Might buy a new one for fishing this winter


Thanks for the update

Every drake product I have owned has leaked. I've had good luck with cabelas dry plus and browning. Never heard anything had about Columbia either.

My drake jackets leaked too will not buy another "waterproof" drake product
