A Good Snow Goose Jacket – A Overlooked Piece of Equipment

Lets face it the conditions for hunting waterfowl are not like hunting doves in Argentina. The air is usually damp and wet and the air temperature can be fridgid at times creating the ideal environment to be cold.

A goose hunting jacket can make you much more comfortable while hunting in the field or over open water. What should a goose hunter look for in a good snow goose hunting jacket. First, look at the grams of insulate. Since you are hunting snow geese in late fall and early spring the jacket should be rated for at least 20 degree weather - preferably warmer. Another great feature in a jacket is layers - many of the great jackets have a inner and outer layer allowing you to hunt in a much wider range of temperatures. Next, look at the camo pattern - not all camo patterns are created equal -- Especially in snow goose hunting where the combination of white and dark can give you away for miles. The camo pattern needs to closely match your conditions, concealment is a key feature. Finally, flexibility and motion are crucial point to choosing a jacket. When in the store, grab a gun when wearing the jacket and see if you can move around to shoot. Lack of mobility will cause you to be uncomfortable and make the hunt less enjoyable.
