You should check out Cabelas bargain cave. Should be able to score some Gore-Tex at that price.

the post may be dated , but there will be dozens of people over every few months looking for related info that need similar info,
so your posted info and any useful links are not wasted.
think about it, if you need info you do a search, you don't say only give me threads posted in the last week! hell,
the info you need may be in a link that's 3-5 years old, so you read the related threads, and you'll find the info you need!
its not wasted time to post good info on older threads even if the originating post starter is long gone from the web site.
that thread may be a decade old, but its still potentially very helpful to people looking for related info

My only suggestions is to buy once and cry once. I know it's a silly saying but it is true. Buying cheap hunting gear is more costly in the long run because you will ultimately just be replacing it anyway and makes time in the woods miserable. You get similar weather to me in Niagara so good boots are important but do not have to be hunting specific. Jacket and pants are important and rain gear - until I bought hunting specific rain gear I use an old army surplus camo poncho and it worked well.

Look for sales or even used quality gear. It does not have to match (not a fashion show). Not sure even look in Canada as the exchange is amazing for Americans right now @ $1.31 Cdn for $1 USD and there is a BPS right in Niagara Falls.
