I liked the suggestion of a Russian great coat.

 

Options:

1.  In Nepal, I took the layered approach as I would go through varying conditions during the day;

2.  I have multiple coats/windbreakers from shopgoodwill.com!  Yes, Goodwill cleans what they sell.  Moreover, you are going to be in conditions when your outerwear is going to be repeatedly stained. 

3.  Yes, as an REI member, I have been known to test a target item for size in the store and then purchase the same item cheaper on line.

No joke, deer have a lot of blood in them.  I used to start wearing blue disposable gloves.  But, eventually, those got slippery and you pull them off.  If you don't have ice before, you go to the convenience store and look like you murdered someone.  Sometimes,  I would strip down to the camo underlayer for that reason, as it was more washable.
