Love my Venture Jacket. Harness port on the back. Snaps for compressing the sleeves. Full pit zips. Its my meat and taters for October and November in Wisconsin. I want pants/short top bibs to match! Full leg zips for ez on off and to dump heat. Waterproof butt. Thin below the calf for tucking, that would be great, thanks @badlandspacks
Now that you had a season of use can you share the good, bad, and ugly. Did you use the Badlands Base or Mid layers? Which ones? I am looking to order up some of their gear.
These do not cut wind AT ALL. Badlands should be ashamed of themselves for their last years releases. I have always been a fan but I was very disappointed. Love the print, hate the material.
Man that thing is noisy. Still gonna order it for an outer layer during late deer, elk, and pronghorn hunts while it’s on sale for $120 or so. but no way you could ever use it for bow hunting.
Noisy to you must not be noisy to the deer - I managed to have 5 different deer under my stand and record them the whole time with this jacket on, and never got a glimpse from any of them. The jacket is incredible in every aspect (in my opinion).

Interestingly enough I just harvested my target buck while wearing. Again what you perceive to be noisy cannot be heard 10ft away.

Thanks for the review
Would you say this is packable for mountain hunting
I just rolled it up to see how packable it is. It easily rolls up to about 4.5” diameter x 13” long. I ran Velcro strap around... so fairly packable.
How does the inner liner feel like and how many pockets total does it have?
It is fairly slick material (believe it is polyester). Lends itself to layering as it will not bind up with under garments.
