Raingear

Hey guys, im planning on doing a backcountry bowhunt in the UInta Wilderness this year and am going to need to get me some raingear. (rain is an almost everyday thing out there) I want something that is light with little or no insulation. What do you guys use? Any recommendations? I liked the kings camo raingear but just want to hear what you all are using and get your opinions. Thanks!

I still currently use my military issue rain gear. It is very rugged and very waterproof but a little noisey and bulky. I tried on some of that new Russel Cyclone rain gear and plan on buying a set of it within a year. From what I could tell it is right up there with Sitka gear but it is a lot easier on the wallet... Just my .02

Hey Archer,

I picked up a set of Kings Mountain Shadow rain gear and I love it. It is pretty light, packs up nicely, and breathable. I bought mine on camofire so I got a screaming deal on it (no idea what its retail price is) Cabelas also has a really light weight rain gear Space Rain is the name of it but I am not sure on how durable it is. Hope this helps.

Sportsmans carrys a combo that isn't to bad pants and jacket for I think 70 bucks. I have also heard of a few guys that use the Frog togs. I believe sportsmans carries them as well. And there not two hard on the wallet.

I want the lightest and most packable rain gear there is.....that WORKS! Cabela's Space Rain™ Ultra Pack Pullover Rain Jacket and Pants is your answer for back-packing rain wear. Been using it for over five years now in the back country.

While your there look at the MT050 or Rain Suede. I live in Oregon and this is packable, breathable and keeps me dry. Just got my second set after 10 years.

Did I mention I live in Oregon. lol
