Default RE: Turkey hunting rain gear

I'd recommend Cabela's MTO50. Take care of it and you'll
be set to hunt in the rain for years to come. I also have a
set of rain gear from 10X, Shikari Cloth, which is also
Gore-tex. I've had it almost 10 years, but it has kept me
dry on many rainy days....including today. It's a bit
heavier than my MTO50, so I only wear it when the temp
is below 50 degrees.

If at all possible, I'd suggest spending the extra money
and buying a quality rainsuit. I won a Mad Dog (jacket
& pant) rainsuit last year in a 'big gobbler contest', I believe
they sell for around $100 for both pieces. It has a great
camo pattern and is lightweight, and very comfortable.
I thought I'd give it a try this spring. I found out why it
costs less than half as much as my other two rainsuits...
...it would not keep me dry in anything other than a light
mist, and the camo pattern wore off both knees after several
days of hard hunting in wet conditions.

Hope you find what you are looking for...
