Hunting clothes suggestion.
 
I am an active hunter, i run a lot while i hunt and i run in a territory with bushes. I stay many days in the field. What i need are some waterproof, breathable and very durable hunting clothes for all seasons.

I found riverswest to be 100% waterproof and extremely durable but they are not breathable.

I've always been a fan of wool. Not 100% waterproof, but that's what Gore-Tex rain gear is for.

Inner layer of wicking fabric long underwear tops and bottoms: polypropylene or other wicking fabric. Outer layer of light wool -- long sleeved shirt, medium weight wool pants. Carry waterproof gear for rain, probably preferrably Goretex which is reasonably breathable. On the other hand, there isn't going to be any perfect fabric if you are running. When I run I sweat a lot and my outerwear becomes soaked. No fabric is going to remain dry under those conditions.

With reference to the durable constraint, I don't know how to answer you. Wear a set of leather chaps and a leather jacket? Not too cool, not very light, not very breathable. Just about any non-leather shell I know about is going to get ripped when running through brush. Canvas or tightly woven cotton shell? such as is used for upland game hunting?

Goretex is not very durable.
I think the only choice is rivers west. It is not breathable but it has many ventilation's with waterproof zippers. It is 100% waterproof and EXTREMLY durable.
I saw the test in this video.
Plz if somebody know a durable product with waterproof and durability let me know.

You can wear leather such as leather jackets, leather vests as well as leather pants for hunting. These cloths really suits on every hunter. I just want to say that there are so many leather stores on internet that deals in leather outfits. You can buy all leather outfits online from trusted and secure online leather store leatherorbit.com at cheap prices.

Not sure where you got the idea Gore-Tex wasn't durable? I have some Simms Gore-Tex waders that are 10 years old. I fly fish 200 days a year.

I have Gore-Tex rain wear that is 15 years old. If I want breathable rain wear Gore-Tex is the 800# gorilla in the forest for me.

I'm not saying Gore Tex isn't durable. Gore Tex has 3 types. http://www.shop-denali.com/Assets/im...uide/Chart.JPG

The durable one is the pro shell version witch i can't find it in cabelas online shop.
I only found this in other websites but it is not for hunting. http://www.shop-denali.com/Arcteryx-...t#.UE5SGI3iY3g

Kuiu pretends it has a 3 layer jacket with hunting camouflage.
I know it is 20 000 waterproof and 20 000 breathable. The gore tex pro shell http://tinyurl.com/ch9cma7
has better waterproofing but i think kuiu 3 layer shell is more durable.
