The Badlands Catalyst Jacket is great for throwing in your hunting pack for use as needed-it is lightweight, 100% waterproof, quiet, and durable. One of the best features is the snaps from forearm to wrist that take up any bulk-this works extremely well for archery hunters so string does not hit jacket material when shooting. While in the field, this jacket is ideal for any hunting condition and provides the security of knowing that you have a quality product that will keep you dry in wet conditions. I use it a lot on Oregon hunts and works perfect.
