There is the Arcteryx Leaf line. Something like this, although pricey may work based on your pic? Only downfall IMHO is the lack of a hood.

They also have an outlet store in North Van near second narrows...may even check there? No denying it is good quality stuff.

Eddie Bauer stores will probably have something like that. I have a vest of similar style I picked up there a few years back. Love it! Well made, durable, and a timeless outdoors style……...

That looks like nylon exterior, won't that be noisy for bow hunting. Check out places like Value Village. I picked up a North Face Nupse(sp) 800 for $12.00.

I'm currently using/abusing a LEAF Fusion jacket, so far a nice unit, surprisingly warm. I wouldn't consider it quiet by any means. Also, the purchaser has to qualify for the LEAF program.

I own a few LEAF products…. just walked into DS tactical and purchased. No qualification necessary.

You could try Goose, not too many colour choices other than military green and awful expensive.

I ended up with a browning high country in dark olive , found it at blueline sports in poco. seems to be pretty good quality with a tough outer shell material and some decent water repellency. they were quite generous on the amount of down fill too so it is quite warm.
It is brad fry, I emailed the tv shows web page saying how I am a fan of the show and asked about the jacket, I actually got a reply from the man himself, he said it was a browning jacket and it was bought a bunch of years ago at Wholesale Sports in Saskatoon.
when I looked on the browning website they do not show that model any longer, I like the idea of the elastisized cuffs which don't seem to be offered any more.
