Rain gear
 

What is the most quiet, light weight, and ecconomical rain gear that I can get for elk bow hunting in September?

Anything with real goretex will serve you well. The goretex "knockoffs" can be unreliable. I'd advise to not buy cheap rain gear. In my experience, good rain gear is worth it. The inexpensive stuff will let you get wet or not hold up or both. In the mountains, that can be really miserable. And, you'll probably end up going back and buying the good stuff anyway.

I have found nothing better than Cabelas MT50 Gore tex rain suits. Both the pants or bibs and jacket can be stuffed into its own pocket for easy packing. The suit has taken a beating from my turkey hunting to upland bird hunting to waterfowl hunting and even deer hunting. The pants and bibs have held up very well in the briars and brush.

Most times on cold upland hunts I wear the pants and a pair of longjohns and that is all I need in the wet or snowy grass or bursh.

I have also worn this during all my dog judging atctivites as rain does not stop us from carrying on.

Yea, I have read the reviews on the MT50 and thought that was some good stuff. Thanks!

Forgot to add - I bought my set in 1996!

Buy inexpensive stuff and after the first bush you walk through you'll wished you purchased quality rain gear.



Here is what I use.
