Rivers West Pioneer Rain Gear

[red2delta]

Anybody have any reviews or insight about the Pioneer rain jacket and pants from Rivers West. I just purchased a set last night and am curious what everyone thinks>?

Thanks in advance for the info

Definitely put this in the wrong forum category, not sure how to move it. Sorry

Rivers West makes awesome stuff. Not familiar with your outfit but I'd assume it's top notch.

Apparently it is the gear with the fleece material to help keep quiet while hunting. Seems legit.

How do you like the Pioneer jacket? I need some rain gear, it's been pouring outside, lol! @redsquirrel, which jacket do you have? What other folks are using Rivers West, what jacket/pants do you recommend?

I bought some, best money I've spent. I haven't been in a downpour, but it has kept me dry and warm. No its not warm by itself, but a great wind breaker. The lining is awesome. I wear a size 11 boot and can slip the suit on in the stand. Packs up fairly small. I roll pants and coat together.

i bought the pioneer jacket and pants off amazon. I have to say it is super lightweight, and I have worn it on 3 hunts in the rain now and stayed dry while wearing it. Great products

I bought the Pioneer jacket & pants from Amazon last week. I sat most of the day in the rain on Friday. Once the heavy rainfall started I climbed down and walked a mile back to camp in the rain. I was completely dry when I made it back. It's quiet and doesn't weigh a lot for packing in. Very happy with the purchase. I sat again Saturday morning and used the jacket as a shell in 38-degree temps and stiff North wind. The breathable pioneer fleece was not a great wind blocker, but it definitely helped with my layering. Looking to see if they have a windproof pair for the colder temps to double as cold winter shell and cold rain gear.

You won't be disappointed!

I have been thinking it would be nice to have one that worked for the whole season. I wanted to get the pioneer line but would like something warmer for late season, it looks like I need more than one set which I was hoping to avoid.

I have the lightweight jacket and the pioneer pants nad have worn them for 2 years, here in Pa. it seems like it rains every day or looks like it might rain. I like how the jacket has zippers under arms to breath on the way in, the pant I have don't have belt loops which I don't like but other than that I think they are great! i have hunted with only thermal underwear and a wool sweater with the rivers west stuff on and have been comfortable for 4 hours with temps around 20F.

It may be possible to get away with the pioneer if you have a windproof layer already maybe a windproof fleece. I probably get cold easier than most, but I could feel the cold wind take the warm air away from my layers on gusts.

I'm with you on the cold wind, it can chill you pretty quick. I ended up wearing my snowmobile pants and jacket under my scentlok camo last year, lol. It worked pretty good but was a little noisy when moving around.
