I am on my 5th year with Cabelas Space Rain jacket and pants. No rips, no leaks and has not let me down and very lightweight.

Cabelas Space Rain.
I got the Bibs instead of the pants because I have spent far too many rainy days afield with water running down my butt.
It also acts as an additional layer for windy days.
Mine have proved very durable, and packable and not too "spensive" either.

this has always been a conundrum for me. Most rain gear is noisy as h$$$ so i don't like to walk in it. I wear wool almost all the time which is quiet as a church mouse but i don't like getting wet. I figure that most animals head for the trees when it's raining so i do too and just get wet unless i plant myself, then any camo poncho will do while glassing..

Mad dog gear is pretty good. It'll keep you dry most of the day and it's quite quiet.....cheeep too!

Sitka Gear is the only rain gear I have ever had that WORKS. It is expensive but it is well worth it.

Frogg Toggs best rain gear for the money.

I am surprised no one mentioned Peter Storm rain gear.
Waterproof.
Stretchable.
Light.
Dries in minutes, inside and out.
The British know a thing or two about wet-weather clothing.

Whether or not the stuff actually works depends how you hunt. If you sit in a stand they work-and breathability won't matter, if you hunt on the ground by spot and stalk 'waterproof-breathable' is an oxymoron. If it is waterproof it does not breathe-marketing speak aside. The only thing that works well for spot and stalk is wool.

I've found Sitka Gear Downpour to work really well for me in the Oregon rain. Some people are more hot blooded and perspire more than others. For some any rain gear is not going to work.

I use to hunt by first putting on all my layers, and then at the end put on my one layer thin camo outer shell. If it was raining, my second layer would be the rain gear…. breathable or not, cheap or expensive. I have now been using the Sitka rain gear and find it packable and functional and use it as my outer layer in rainy weather. Mike

Anyone tried making a little capelette to just cover neck and shoulders? For me most of the wet comes from the knees down and on the shoulders. Seems to me a hat and something on the shoulders and a pair of gators would keep most of the water off and allow plenty of breathing. For most light rains in cool weather I find layering with something on top that resists water and a pile jacket underneath keeps me from being soaked.
