I just got back from NW Montana where the conditions and country will turn most archery gear, clothing and huntersinto trash in no time. The guides there seemed to be pretty high on Sitka Gear. My rain jacket gave up the ghost on that trip and I did buy their "90% Jacket" which seemed to be very light, functional and well thought-out. It'll get its trial by fire in the next few weeks.

The guys did mention that the material feels kind of "funky" until you wash it the first time.

Alas, as you might have guessed, the trade off these days for something that actually works, is lightweightand provides durability is that the gear is, as they say "spendy"

Good luck. I hope this helps.
