Muliefever. If you can afford it, I believ Fislon to be the beat rain gear available. The stuff is called tincloth. It is certanly not hightech. They have been making this stufffor 90years. It is an oilcloth or waxed cloth in heavey duty tanned duck. Wears like iron but not the lightest. Gets a little stiff in really cold weather, but will keep you dry.
I was in Colorado at a bluegrass festival in '04 and it rained for 4 days staight. very unusual for the rocky mountains. But all my firends got wet in thier goretex but I stayed bone dry in my filson. Plus the filson gear has a classic old style sportsman look to it.
But if you were doing some serious active hunting, it doesn't breath like goretex. So you may have more of a chance of sweating.
