Default Waterproof Clothing?

with the upcoming turkey season, i was thinkin about waterproof clothing.....what do you guys use as bowhunters?...i mean it needs to be quiet but yet needs to actually work...i have used many products, but for some reason none really work as "waterproof" clothes ..... what brand of jackets and pants do you guys wear???

A lot of the Top clothes anymore has a water/wind barrier in them and while they may not be exactly waterproof they will keep you dry in most showers. I don't hunt in a pouring down Rain anymore.

I do have a set of Space Rain in Max-1by Cabelas that will pack in a fanny pack and it is waterproof

No

I wear anytime, it's also wind proof.

I have a camo rain suit from Field and Stream. I have been happy with it because it allows you to draw your bow quietly, it doesn't make that screetching sound that alot of waterproof suits make when they move. It can handle an average rain, but when it starts pouring, it doesn't hold up too well. So all in all I give it 4 stars
