I ordered my father in law a new hunting coat from cabelas the Dry-Plus Performance Upland Series. Is anyone familiar with it? I got it out of the box and my first reaction was man this things heavy!

My father in law is 60 turning 61 and I'm afraid the coat may wear him out!
I'm looking for a light weight water proof brush coat-- What do you guys suggest?
Thanks,
Josh

Upland Hunting Coats
I picked up a $15 special from Old Navy. It's a thick cotton fabric coat, kind of like a duck cloth material (only it's hunter green colored), 4 front pockets, 2 inside pockets, crazy rugged, but not waterproof. I guess you could always get some Filson/Cabela wax and turn it into an oil-finished coat, kind of like tin cloth.
My only gripe about it is that it hangs down well below my waistline, which makes it hard to get things from my pants pockets or anything clipped to my belt.
