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.

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.
