I just received the LL Bean Emerger wading jacket for my birthday this week. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet (our rivers are icing over) but I put it on the other night, and "field tested" it in the back yard during a freezing rain/snow storm, and it worked great!

It's $79.99 (plus $20.00) in duties and taxes. They have free shipping to Canada until Christmas. I know it might not be in the same league as some of the other jackets you mentioned, but it might be worth a look. You could use the other $50 to buy some other toys!!!

Best of luck with it.
