Pan, keep your eyes open and look in places like Cabela's Bargain Bin, and Sierra Trading Post.

I always wanted a good fishing jacket, but balked at the $150 minimum for a gore-tex wading jacket. I used an old Remington gore-tex coat, then my uniform rain jacket, and finally last fall, on the way to the Idaho fish-in, I discovered a rack of Browning waterproof breathable 4-in-1 duck hunting coats on sale for $60. I grabbed one, and should have grabbed a couple, because I will never see another price like that.

Now if just wasn't parka length and trails in the water when I wade deep... On the other hand, it's camouflage, and I can use it hunting as well.
