Ok no bashing

Scent-Lok stuff is great also. Dakota series is a great product at a great price. It will keeep you dry water resistant. It is very quiet.

I would suggest staying away from Cabelas Dry plus or GoreTex. For bowhunting I find my suits with this to be tad nosiy.

Cabelas makes some nice rain gear.

MTO50 and Rain Suede. Both suits are 100% WP, but tend to be a bit noisy.

RJ it is up to you, I have suits for rain and ones for mild weather. I find two suits better than 1. I have 2 wolfskin suits now, but have not wore them in the field so I do not know. From what I hear it is the real deal.

Very cool, from what I understand the Sitka gear has the same DNR repellant as the wolfskin, so I am hoping someone with experience with this stuff can provide input. I will have to look into the Dakota stuff too, I do know that I don't want a camo that isn't in a somewhat open pattern this time........it may be an option if they have it readily available in AP.

Still hoping someone has some real experience with the Sitka stuff, specifically the 90% pants and Jacket.
