Rain jackets

[Sundown]

Need advice. What are you guys using? Mostly going to be hauled around in my pack for elk season. Im not too picky if its camo or not.

I have Kuiu but IMO it’s over priced and over rated.

Try cabelas rain suede , helly Hanson impertech for good priced gear.
Cant go wrong with Sitka

or any of the backpacking brands l

I use a Snugpak. It has elastic around the wrists and is cut with a hump to fit your pack under. Tear resistant and packs up really small too. I leave it in my pack for every trip.

Cabelas Gore-tex,
light warm and packable

I use the Sitka downpour. Not the most compact coat made, but keeps you really dry.

Arcteryx Beta LT. I've ran this shell for that last 4 years ski touring, hiking/ camping, rock climbing and urban wear and it's held up great. It's my one and only jacket. It's expensive but you get what you pay for.
If you don't like the colors it comes in check out Arcteryx LEAF gear, it's their military / LEO division. So you can get stuff in OD green, multicam etc

Running badlands exo rain gear, it's insanely light, quiet as can be and completely water proof from my experiences thus far.. well worth the money, and the warranty is nothing to laugh at either .

Im going to give the same set a try. Glad to hear a good review. Are they designed to go right over what you're wearing, or do you have to change?

I use a badlands exo jacket, and pioneer bibs. They work. They replaced the cabelas space rain gear for everyday use. The space rain pants and exo jacket are in my pack on day hunts when it's not supposed to rain, the jacket earned a full fail from me. Went in the garbage. I liked it initially but it quickly lost water resistance.
I also wear gaiters under the rain pants, and one of those first lite neck gaiters under the hood, to keep that cold/wet synthetic material off my skin.
The pioneer bibs are made of some mildly stretchy rubberized material, pretty light and more forgiving to move in than the old school rubbers I wear at work.
I'm 6'2", 165lbs, and a large goes over whatever I'm wearing.

Can you shed more light on the Cabelas space stuff, when it's on sale it seems hard to beat for $70.00 and that Badlands Exo jacket is $300.00 for 100% polyester DWR.......I'm very surprised that for that price it's not Gore or a derivative.
