    Re: Rainwear

    Both Helly Hansen and Arcteryx support Raincoast and Pacificwild and I'm sure more. Both groups are heavily invested and interested in shutting down hunting. I'm not trying to say what to buy or not buy......

    But there is a good handful of companies that make great gear that support hunting.

    I second this comment, I had spent half a year searching for rain gear and it came down to first lite, kuiu or fjallraven. Fjallraven has actually been making hunting clothes in Sweden for over 50 years and their stuff is silent and extremely durable. That being said if weight matters, Kuiu's options pack down way smaller but won't last as long due it its thiner fabric. My hunting partner wears kuiu while I'm head to toe in Fjallraven and the weight difference is a lot but you can feel the durability in the swedish brand.

    Another tip is brands like Kuiu and First lite often have sales, there should be one coming up for memorial day. If you can hang in there, on major holidays things were 40% off on all those brands, and they don't charge international taxes (unlike Sitka, never buy them online, unless that's changed for them?).
