I like Pnuma too. Have you checked out the Selkirk All weather jacket and pants?
I use them as my rain gear / cool weather gear. Then use the waypoint for cold weather.

 

Good luck in finding something that has a liftetime warranty. Most wearable items will no carry that. Maybe a "limited" warranty.
Check out Riverswest.

 

Rivers West has a 10 year warranty & I have had some of there stuff for 6 years & still working well
you might take a look at their lines.

 

Really High Quality WARM stuff here.

 

Pnuma, x2. Good stuff!

 

I hope so. I ordered a large Selkirk jacket and bibs but they were too small. I sent them back to get and XL size and they were sold
out of the bibs but had the jacket. it should be showing up any time now.

 

I purchased First Lite Sanctuary set a few years back, coat and bibs, probably the warmest I ever been while hunting in really cold temp's, if you can find a deal, very good for bow hunting, I don't think it'll have a life time warranty, I really don't know the warranty, probably could call them

 

what kind of warranty? the only 2 I know who have a good (almost) unconditional warranties are rivers west, and pnuma. around here the rivers west warranty is useless, because you have to send them in, they will be leaking in short order, and by the time you get them back, the season will be over. we call them "rivers wet"

might be fine for some areas where it doesn't rain a lot, and your gear isn't exposed to brush, but they are worthless here.

I have not tried pnuma, but I think I will. for raingear, I think kuiu is the best for the money, but I did email pnuma, explained I was going to ruin raingear, and wanted to give them the option of not dealing with me, they said they would be happy to have my business, so they are serious about their products.

I think it's a mistake to but one jacket for all conditions. I think a rain jacket needs to be a shell, and wear your insulating layers under it. I don't know there is a good option period for insulated raingear, that actually works. I think a good rain shell with some good baselayers and a quality synthetic puffy is a much better option.

 

Pnuma has a lifetime warranty and maybe Game Gear. However, if you are looking for straight warmth, Sitka Fantic. First Light has a bunch of sales going on and a few good deals on rain gear. The Kuiu rain gear is awesome though.

 

for the money I would buy several pairs of red head or cabelas brand stuff, you tear it or starts leaking and ya throw it away. or put on a different set while the others are drying

I lived in NC and have never found it really cold even during the blizzard of 93

 

Badlands has the warranty you speak of but for their things you need to layer quite well in multiple pieces to achieve what you are wanting to. That is the crux for them right now, no true cold weather piece if you are looking for something as a standalone.

 

I would just get sitka, kuiu, or first lite and forget about the lifetime warranty. Heck , I would be surprised if the few companies that offer that are even around in 5 years.

 

Hows kryptek camo? I'm freaking loving the looks of it...I'm talking about the actually Kryptek brand

 

Just a heads up..

Kryptek is not lifetime warranty.

"Kryptek products are fully warranted to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of up to 1 year from the date of original purchase excluding normal wear and tear."

 

Badlands claims warranty on their gear and apparel

The thing to watch for too, depending on sizes needed is availability. I looked into Kryptek, Pnuma, Badlands and none of them had my size available. So if you’re tall and skinny like myself you may want to plan ahead. I ended up ordering Sitka and I ended up sending it back because it was too small, I need their “long” pants which few other manufacturers had. Just something to consider.

 

for raingear you cannot beat kuiu, and they are built for tall/skinny people also. they seem to fit me well, and i'm generally a 32 tall (sitka) or med tall (first lite)

 

Look into MidwayUSA’s Mackenzie Mountain parkas, pants, and bibs. They are made with Primaloft Gold insulation and have an eVent waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane. They are on sale now and get even cheaper at end of season.

 

I've used Sikas warranty and the experiences was nothing but positives. If your buying based on warranty you won't likely find a better clothing company.

 

I have heard nothing but good things about Pnuma.
