I dont really care about price as I use my gear for a longggggg time so quality is the big concern. Thanks in advance. Im lookin at the MT Cabelas gear but any suggestions are welcome.

I've never tried their stuff, but whenever I look at the Whitewater Outdoors gear in the store it seems high quality and really quiet to me.

I love my 10X Gore-tex shell, but I don't think it's made any longer.

Check Raven Wear. Canadian firm, very nice folks, very good quality.

Buy some of the military issue, camo goretex jacket and pants, as they are what waterproof should be. Yes they are a bit heavy, obviously an army camo pattern and are not silent, but very durable. I think Cabelas sells them cheaply for something around $40 a jacket and the same for pants. Army surplus would have them as well. I have a set from the Army I use when expecting a downpour or continuous rain.

My all time favorite is Cabela's SuperSlam,I stayed out in the pouring down rain during the 1994 first day of buck season and never got wet...

Have you been in the rain since 1994?

Yea 270,I have been in the rain once or twice since "94" and they still keep me dry...

Riverwest for me in the NW rain. But not breathable.

those seal skinz socks worked well for me with leaky leather boots.

rivers west is definetly top notch. keeps me 100% dry and totally warm
