Cabela's Guidewear vs. XCR Gold Series

[Mattman]

I was all set to order a set of Guidewear before the ice left the lakes but after seeing their new XCR Gold Series, I'm torn. Anyone out there gotten a Gold Series set yet? Likes/dislikes? Anyone see anything they don't like about it? I'm not sure I like where the arm vents are on the jacket. They seem too high on they arm. Seems like they should be around more towards the armpit. Please comment.

I had a pit zip jacket and hated it. With my arms at my side, the lump from the zipper cut off blood flow to my arms and hands. I think the new zipper placement makes great sense. I can't wait to see them firsthand in the store.
