Review
As a full time Fly-fishing and upland game guide I need the very best outwear I can find. Filson sent the Wingshooting Jacket and Wingshooting Pant to test and review. Both pieces are 100% 6-oz. layer nylon twill, and fully seam sealed. The jacket has waterproof zippers and a feature that is a must handwarmer pockets. The pants are light, waterproof, and breathable and with the terrain I guide these are a lifesaver. In addition to hunting outwear I used this last fall guiding angler on the Big Horn here in Montana. The Filson Wingshooting Pant and Jacket is my far some of the very best I have tested and reviewed. The quality is second to none and the fit feels tailored if that is possible. Filson is expensive and after wearing for the season I understand, it is with few exceptions the very best.

Review
Filson make Outdoor wear that have few equeals. I received a Mid Weight pullover sweater that turned out to be one of my favorite for cold weather. The Mid weight is 100% Merion wool that feels comfortable against bare skin. The sweater is a four button front placket and coated elbow patches for a classic look. I tested as a casual piece and hunting piece. The Mid Weight is a quality product and one of the finest we have tested. Filson has an unparalleled reputation for outstanding hunting and casual outerwear and in 1997; I bought a wild fowl hat from Filson, for the past 13 years I have worn every season. Filson is expense for good reason; it is quality product and can last a lifetime if you take care of it. Filson is considered so valuable many Fathers will pass down there Filson to there children. If you want some of the best outdoor wear Filson has been around for 113 years enough said.
