What coat (Northeast US or colder) do you wear in the winter for beaver trapping that won't get cut to shreds?
I can't even wear my coat to Walmart it's so bad (and that's pretty bad).
What do you recommend that lasts? Is it a coat? A jacket? A fleece? A vest? A combination?
Thanks.

A friend of mine told me NYS buys "North End" jackets for instructors (or did anyway). I might also look into those, they're cheaper than North Face. He said no rips on his after 10 years. They're fleeces.

For busting brush and briars while small game hunting I wear Filson waxed canvas.

My Schaefer Outfitters coat make a great outer layer because the canvas has such a tight twill (similar to the Filson stuff).

M65 field jackets hold up well for me here.

I am to old for that stuff, for that I use a beagle I use labs. Maybe that's why my Filsons last longer than they used to?

I have a Boyt waxed cotton canvas coat that works well but it's not really my upper body that takes the beating, it' the legs. Raspberry bushes tear you up. I've been through several pair of Filson chaps and pants over the years but I'm not sure they still offer them. Filson still offers Tin Cloth chaps and pants.
Eh...wot?

My Schaefer Outfitters coat make a great outer layer because the canvas has such a tight twill (similar to the Filson stuff). So they make them in "Stout" sizes your sayin???

My Schaefer Outfitters coat make a great outer layer because the canvas has such a tight twill (similar to the Filson stuff). I purchased a wool vest from Schaefer this winter, it's really good quality stuff. I also own a couple Filson wool vests. Schaefer is half the price. I'm a vest junkie.

I'll ask my wife what she wears...she pretty well keeps prickers from getting anywhere close to her!
