I've been sitting under an umbrella while hunting in the rain for years and I've actually been seriously considering a poncho option for raingear as opposed to my traditional coat/coverall. My issue is I'm picky about noisy fabrics and I hate buying camo online without at least having some indication as to how noisy it will be.Boom. Yall boys better getchaselves a rain kilt.
Yes. My Gortex is noisy as well. I only wear it when it's really cold, or raining. I don't care about the noise if it's raining. But on a calm cold morning it makes a lot of extra noise.I have a GI woodland pattern ECWCS jacket and pants that are supposedly gotetex and military grade. The jacket is awesome and when you put it over a fleece and decent base layers it really cuts the wind and water quite well. It’s very warm too. Problem is it doesn’t pass the fingernail test so I use it for trapping and outdoor work and post season scouting forays when I don’t care how noisy I am. It’s tough as nails though!
