Title: Camo Rain gear
Post by: Hootowl on February 09, 2011, 09:20:52 PM
I am headed to Kansas on May 12, and really the only thing I need is a decent set of Camo Rain wear, probably around $100 to 150 price range? What do you all have and like and dislike about what you have..

Advantage Timber Gore Tex that will store in a fanny pack under my chair and fit over my regular camo.

Squal-tex is pretty good.  I like frog togs because it breathes better and is light weight.

x2 on the Squal-tex. The plus is that its not as loud as other rain gear.

There not real loud but there not quiet either.  I hunted in mine in a down pour all day and was soaked by the end of the day.  Never got wet in a light drizzle though.

RedHead StormTex by BassPro.  It is quiet material.  The only problem is the jacket has elastic around the bottom and it tends to ride up your back when you sit down. I would get 1 size bigger than you normally wear to help "creep" up the back.  I got the jacket and pants for under $100.

I forget what kind I got but one of my requirments was that the legs had to zipper all the way up the side, so I can get in and out of them easily.  even with the zipper up to the knee I have had to take my boots off to get in them and out of them.

I use a Mil Spec digital woodland camo poncho.  It breathes from below, covers me and my vest easily and cost about $25.  Very waterproof too.

i've had some frogg toggs for fishing and loved em. started using them for hunting and had the seams rip apart on two different pair. just got some under armour rain pants and haven't used em yet. was at bass pro recently and they had some gore-tex pants on sale for like $90, but i would have needed to lose about 120lbs to wear em. all they had left were smalls and mediums. figures.

I am blessed with enough days to hunt that I am not going to sit in an all day rain.  For times I get caught away from the truck in a shower I carry a very large military ponch that is longer in the back to accomodate a pack.  It is big enough to get everything including the gun under.  I will bivouac until the shower is over or head back to the truck if it sets in and arrive totaly dry, vest and gun included.
