Default Anyone using GatorSkins shirts?

According to their ads, they make quite the claim about being warm and water repellent. A little pricey but if the shirt works like they claim, might be buy for me. The reviews on their website are mixed. Hmmm?
Anyone here have any experience with this product.

I have some of their stuff (shirt and gloves) they are ok. I don't know that they are any better than some of the things I've bought from Cabela's for less money.

Under Armor from Cabela's. I love the stuff.

Might be considered pricey though. ( I haven't compared prices with Gaterskins yet).


Edit: Just checked. Similar prices for both brands. I recommend the under armor, simply because I tested it already and it works. They likely both work well.

I have Under Armour and the Walmart brand stuff. They are the same damn material but the Walmart stuff is 1/3 the price. The stitching isn't as sturdy though.
