but when actually hunting would consider a water restitant fabric, which can come in different quieter forms
in light rain, fabrics are are fine, even in more rain for short periods,
also i would not recomend stalking in NY,
i have land in upstate NY and wouldnt do it even on my own land,
also majority of NY terrain is not good for stalking,
