Rain Gear

[17stevensonh]

Any suggestions on rain gear that is quiet and actually waterproof that won’t break the bank? Let me know what you guys have!

Plythal was on camofire yesterday. Cheap and seems to get good reviews.

Depends on where you are going. My poncho would not be sufficient in Pacific NW or Alaska/

I bought brown ultralight Gore Tex "golf" rain pants on eBay for $20 used but in immaculate shape. They cut the wind and are waterproof, and if they get slashed in the field it won't bother me since I didn't spend 10x that on pants marketed to the "hunting" sector.

I've worn Cabela's space saving rain coat in downpours and stayed dry. I caught it on sale for about $50 I believe.

2nd the Cabela’s Space Saver jacket. Has done the job in downpours for me. I have both the jacket and pants.

I have used Cabela's in the past and have remained dry . I took out a second mortgage this year and purchased
Kuiu Yukon. I am planning to use as a soft shell and as rain gear. I needed something durable and which I could vent heat. I think a lot depends on the type of hunting you will be doing.

I don't think any raingear is particularly quite but if it's raining hard enough to need it the forest is usually plenty load enough to cover up any noise they do make.

I like my KUIU lightweight packable raingear. It's survived a couple of years now of moderate use here in the PNW.

Better to look for quality used, Kuiu or Sitka.

I had no idea dillards carried Marmot but they had the precip jacket on clearance for $30ish.

The Kuiu and Sitka stuff looks really good, but not cheap.
