I have HuntWorth rain gear. It has a brushed exterior and is windproof. I got it on sale for $100 for the set so the price is great. I had a hunt where i went in while it was raining and then rained on and off the rest of the night. My dilemma is, when I walk in, and all the moisture gets trapped inside the jacket. When I got set up, the inside is as wet as the outside while it was raining. I have FL base layers and the origin hoody, so I removed the jacket and wore my origin hoody and my base layers dried naturally but the inside of my jacket was wet for the rest of the night? How do I stay dry?

Rain gear moisture management

Gotta avoid working up a sweat as much as possible walking in. So a few things:
Don't zip up the jacket during the walk in/setup and lighten up with the other layers. If you got room in your pack, put the extra layers in there and put em on before you start to climb.

A small microfiber towel folds up small especially inside a Ziploc with the air squished out. I use mine to wipe sweat but I guess u could dry stuff with it to...ring it out and it drys fairly quick
What was the temperature? How far was the walk?

Oregonian here......you have to wear a polyester coat under your rain coat,and poly pants under your rain pants.basicly your normal weatherproof hunting gear with rain gear on top.there will always be condensation under your rain gear,but that little bit of moisture is nothing like the pooring rain itself.think bouble painged window to stay dry behind.
i could walk anywhere from 100 yards to 2-3 miles. that walk was about a mile. and was about 50 degrees.
Walk in whatever, and do a full change at the tree.
It sucks. Just what you gotta do sometimes to hunt mobile.
