“The Hycreek Sportsman's suit is a good deal. Lots of pieces for not so much cashola.
Be warned that the sizing runs quite large. The jacket is sized to fit over all the other layers so it is almost 2 whole sizes larger than typical. I recommend you buy one size smaller than normal and then be aware that the jacket will still be large-ish.
I bought the small for my son and my hubby (he normally wears a large) is able to wear all the pieces. He wasn't be able to wear the jacket/ wp pants over all the other insulating layers, but on its own, yes.
If you plan on wearing the waterproof outer layer without all the inner layers, be aware of the sizing.
Quality seems high. Materials are very nice. The suit is a little on the heavy side, but not too bad. The waterproof layers are heavier than just a shell layer. Although they have no insulation on their own, the outer fabric combined with the waterproof membrane and the inner mesh lining are pretty substantial. They would be just fine in the spring and fall and much too warm/heavy for summer showers.
There are enough layers and different types of layers that if you wore them all, you could be out in pretty darn cold weather. Or remove some to customize the warmth. Here in the Pacific NW, I think all the layers would be worn together only in the high mountains or the the very coldest days of the year.
It is a very good deal if you can get the sizing correct for your usage.”
