Ok, so hunting in the rain is one area I need to improve on. Generally speaking, around here if it is raining it means the temperatures are in that 40 to 60 range late season and can be much warmer early season. I want this for bowhunting and I want waterproof, not water resistant. However, being damp will make things feel colder.
I picked up a light weight moss green Rivers West jacket the other day at a great price (hope it gets here today) so I will have that for warm days if it works well. One set I am looking at seriously is the Rivers West Ambush jacket and pants set and a Columbia hat with a long back brim. I'm just a bit concerned it will be too heavyweight and warm for conditions here when it is raining. I am strongly considering this set due to the rain gear video John Eberhart did.
I've also looked at some of the First Lite raingear. Jason Samkowiak did a video a while back on their lightweight set. That set seems a whole lot lighter weight than the Ambush.
I really want to get a good set so I can dive (pun intended) into hunting in the rain. What do you guys use and recommend?
