Rain Gear............

[Devastator]

sorry to hj your thread but has any one tried the cabela's ago suit?

I like using those cheap $5 camo raingear sets from wallyworld. I only get one or two uses out of them because they tend to tear, but their cheap enough that its no big deal to replace them. Since I probably only use a raincoat two or three times a year over time it costs me less than to buy a $200 dollar rain suit.

OK..I hear ya..the problem is that the cheap stuff invariably fails we ya need it the most

This gentleman knows what he's talking about.

Personally, my best rain gear is a heavy foliaged tree, or a ground blind.

I've got a set of Cabela's MT050 Gore-Tex.  Both the jacket and pants roll up and store in themselves.  If it's raining in the morning, I empty out some of the non-essentials out of my vest (and non-waterproof) to lighten the load and the jacket fits over top.  I opted for the pants (versus the bibs) so that I can put them on with my boots (the legs unzip high) without having to strip down from the waist up.

If there's a chance of rain in the forecast, then they get stored in the game pouch of my vest and I have a little extra cushion for my back.

I've never had even the slightest damp feeling get through, even in a downpour.  The reason that I opted for the MT050 line was that they are offered in tall sizes.  Nothing worse then wearing a jacket or pants that are an inch too short when there's water running down you!

While it's not the lightest, I use a military surplus poncho.  It covers me and my vest and keeps me drier that raingear that will make you sweat a lot.  Set up, I can even get my red dot under it to keep it out of the elements.
It carries well in the game bag of my vest.

X2 and don't overlook the Walmart camo poncho when you can find em. It's light,quite and packs up good enough. Just the ticket to throw on during spring showers and to take right back off when the showers stop.
