OK, SO NEXT WEEK I'M HEADING OUT TO SIT IN THE RAIN FOR 5 MINUTES, BAG MY 6 POINT ELK, WHICH WILL DROP INTO MY TRAILER, AND BE DRIVEN TO MY WARM DRY GARAGE, PACKAGED, AND FROZEN.
BACK IN REALITY, I HAVE BEEN PACKED FOR THIS TRIP SINCE MULEY SEASON, AND DECIDED TO TEST MY PANTS FOR WATER RESISTANCE. THEY FAILED. MY TAG IS FOR WESTERN OREGON, AND WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE FORECAST I CAN TELL YOU I HAVE A 75% CHANCE OF RAIN. (IT RAINS 9 OF 12 MONTHS THIS SIDE OF THE CASCADES.
ANYWAY, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WATERPROOFING AGENTS? REI HAS A BRAND CALLED PENGUIN, THAT SEEMS TO BE THE RAVE, AND CABELLAS HAS A BRAND THAT THE REI REVIEWERS DIDN'T LIKE.

I too hunt in the wet N.W. and always wear wool pants. Completely soaked you still stay warm. For everything else a good coating of Camp Dry spray seems to work wonderfully.

Just got an order back from Bass Pro, it's called Revivex, spray on water repellant, says it's a heat- set process. I'll b able to tell u more in about a month when I get back from Col. Bought it to treat my back pack and other things that are not w/proof.
