was wondering anyone's thoughts of the Instinct line from Cabela's. I came across a deal I couldn't pass up and purchased a parka that still has tags on. I'm deciding if I should resell or keep. I took it out this morn in -13 temps with the wind and I was impressed with how well it kept me warm. under it I had on Eastmans sitka zip T that I love BTW! and then just a Pendleton flannel. was comfy, very roomy pocket wise and I was satisfied. just looking for feedback if others are happy with duration of product.

I love my Sitka 1/4 zip also. I have an older style of Cabelas parka and it is my most warmest coat I have. I wear it while riding the side by side in the coldest weather Nv has to offer and I have had no issues with keeping warm. The zipper can be tricky getting it started sometimes but that's it.

Same here IKIC. That damned zipper always a bugger to get started. I like my Cabelas parka, it's windproof & warm.
