    Pretty much any arcteryx pro shell is great. Have Kuiu Yukon too and it is nice since it is a soft shell. Not quite as waterproof as goretex once the DWR wears off. You need to regularly maintain these and goretex jackets.

If you want bombproof raingear i would suggest the Yukon line from Kuiu but they are heavier than the chugach and less packable
    I also have the Chugach NX rain gear from Kuiu it is always in my pack great gear but I've also been thinking of scoring the Yukon rain gear as well but do not want camo want OD green so I'm holding off for now.

    I'm also looking at the Delta Green Simms rain gear looks pretty impressive but I would go Kuiu again if I have a choice.
    Funniest post I have ever read...

    If open to non-camo solids, their are tons of options from non-hunting oriented outdoor companies who make high end gear and now is a good time to pick it up for cheap as winter season ends.

    I suggest checking out Westcomb if you are looking at the more breathable eVent or Neoshell materials. Made in Vancouver and founded by some former Arcteryx guys who went on their own when Arc moved their manufacturing from Van to China. Well respected in the ski/mountaineering circles for making high quality gear.
