    I've got a heavy berber style fleece jacket from them that I love as a mid layer when it's really bitter outside. I've also got their rain gear that packs up. Both are good quality clothes for the $$$ and the sizes run about what you would expect.

    I've got one of their 3-1 cold weather jackets, very warm, very water proof, very good price... I generally like their stuff better than bass pro and seems to be on average a marginal amount cheaper as well... I find the sizing to be about right on with other brands for the most part...

    I was looking mostly at the Gander Mountain Guide Series® Windproof Fleece Jacket, if anybody has any info on this it would be great.

    coincidentally I was at gander the other day with my boys and took a look at this very thing... its pretty nice... especially with that sale price... I'd get it, seems to be a quality piece of gear...

    When you were looking at it did it seem to fit normal, Im pretty much in between a large and a medium and I'm ordering online and won't be able to try it on.

    I like the Guide Series Tech2o stuff, quality made gear! I might have to go and look at the stuff you guys are talking about for my son!

    personally, when it comes to most gear I tend to err on the big side in case I need to put a layer or two on underneath... the XL that I tried on seemed to fit as I expected it to, which would be loose enough to drop a light layer or two on underneath if needed...

    my oldest has a 3-1 tech2o jacket, he got it for 79 bucks, excellent deal, he's been using it for coming on his 3rd winter so far... probably his last one before it gets passed to his little brother...

    remember, when it comes to outdoor clothing and boots, you get what you pay for most times...

    Yeah, If your not looking to spens alot of money you can't expect the best thing out there. But from my experience the gander stuff really is pretty good quality. I use one of their down vests for late season under my coveralls. It is good stuff for the money. Size runs true to what you would expect. Mine wasn't too small or too big!
