I currently have a Kuiu Chugach jacket and Yukon pants both were bought in 2015 and probably have been warn 50 days hunting. They appear to be in good shape and I wash them with DWR after each season.
I am going to northern BC for a horseback moose/caribou hunt this fall.

Question is, should I replace the rain gear?

I was just contemplating this very question. I have been running the Sitka Dew Point jacket and pants for about 10 year. They seem to be holding up just fine. I treat them with Nix Wax before every season. Good luck on your hunt.

How about get in the shower with the gear on and see if it wets thru? If it does, replace it.
