Can anyone recommend a warm coat from Cabelas for deer hunting during the winter in Southern Illinois?

Also, I have been considering Thinsulate coats, does anyone have any thoughts about them?Can anyone recommend a warm coat from Cabelas for deer hunting during the winter in Southern Illinois?
Coveralls or bib and jacket with layers.Can anyone recommend a warm coat from Cabelas for deer hunting during the winter in Southern Illinois?
A decent jacket that sells very well in Illinois is Carhart. Most, if not all Carhart's have a layer of Gor-tek inside of them, which is water repellent...keeps you dry during snowy season. I wouldn't recommend getting them at Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's however; they're quite expensive. You'd be better off going to Farm %26amp; Fleet...you can get a decent Carhart jacket there for about $70. If you go to Cabela's, you'd probably wind up paying out about $130-$150.
My recommendation is not from Cableas but Bass Pro Shops carries a Red Head Boned Dry Cold Weather system that I own and it is awesome. There is a lighter jacket that zips in to a parka. So on mild days you can just wear the inner jacket but on cold days you have one bad coat. I have hunted in really cold conditions with this set up and it works better than anything else. Pants are great too.
Go with layers. Maybe an oversized camo sweatshirt to go over regular clothing,for decent weather,then a large jacket with removable liner for various temperature changes. I have heavy gear but find it hot unless it`s -30 or - 40. there are many brands to chose from.
I have and use the Carhart with the quilted arctic insulation, it's almost too warm sometimes.
