The hood on the sport jacket looks substantially better that DriDucks. I also like that it has snaps on the zipper flap.

Does anybody have real-world experience with Storm Seekers jackets? They certainly look better than Driducks. I wonder if they're a bit more durable.

I have two of these in my car, kids' ponchos as a "just-in-case" rain jacket. I bought the kid-sized ponchos at Target in Portland (I'm not sure if they carry the adult and not sure if they would be nationwide).

I e-mailed Stormseekers customer service for sizing and specs for a size large, since that's my usual fit. I'll update this thread if/when they respond.

I hope we're lucky enough that they send you the entire size chart.

Sizing is M/L 36-44 chest and XL/XXL 46-52 chest. The anorak weight is 9 oz prob in size medium. It gives same weight on packaging for all sizes. The weight of full zip jacket is 10 oz. and weight of camo jacket is 13 oz. Not light but a different option.

John,

Thanks for posting the specs. I have not yet heard from the company.

After I sent an e-mail through the website, I received an e-mail asking me to confirm my subscription, so I'm not sure if my message being delivered is contingent upon me subscribing to their site, which I will not do.

My name is Chris Nelson and I am President of the retail division for Duro Textiles, LLC. Duro Textiles produces much of the fabric used to make our US Service Men & Women's uniforms in theater or on base. We have done initial development work for Kryptek, MultiCam etc since our beginning in 1947. After the sequester, we had to find other sources of revenue to keep our mill workers busy and/or employed so we developed a new material and called it EnviroFit. It is waterproof, breathable, lightweight..you name it. (and yes, better than our competition). Unfortunately, a prior CEO pulled the product from the market in 2013. I was brought in after many years in the industry (many people in the outdoor industry know me from building Nathan Hydration, Sno-Seal, Boot Protector for Penguin Brands), and we have re-entered the market as StormSeeker. We pulled our website down while we developed new products for 2016. We have added Real Tree pants to our very popular Real Tree Jacket line, and other styles for Men, Women and Children. At this time, the only distribution we have is Walmart, Sportsman's Warehouse and an occasional event on zulily to eliminate old inventory. We are adding new licenses and accounts for 2016. We are also blessed by a few major outdoor and sporting goods chains allowing us opportunities to produce MADE IN USA materials here in Fall River, MA! I encourage you to support them. They are saving American jobs! I also was the US distributor for a tremendous trail apparel line. I understand you, and while StormSeeker is an inexpensive product that will fit your needs, our upcoming lines will be far closer to the serious backpacker and trail runner. These items will be found in outdoor, running and sporting goods stores exclusively. To address a post, yes, Frogg Toggs is a heavier weight product great for fishing and wading in ponds and streams. For now, if you want to do a product for product comparison between StormSeeker and Frogg Toggs, visit any Walmart hunting section. We share the section with Coleman. Please feel free to email me directly at nelson_fchris@durolink.com should you need any additional information. The site http://www.stormseekergear.com, should be back up by year end. Thank you for your patience, and quite frankly, awesome support on this forum! Truly, F Chris Nelson Duro Textiles, LLC
