I'm going on a mountain goat hunt the first week of October. I'll be hunting in northern British Columbia along the Ketchika and Gataga rivers. My understanding is that there will be considerable jet boat travel and base camp each night is an option as well as a spike camp if needed. So the primary weight restriction is the float plane, not necessarily my backpack. I imagine considerable wind and wetness can be expected on the jet boat. I have been thinking that this might be an actual circumstance where a soft shell would be nice.
My current jacket arsenal that might fit this trip:
Insulation: Kuiu Kenai Jacket, Arcteryx Atom AR Hooded Jacket
Rain: First Lite Stormtight Jacket, Helly Hanson Impertech ¾ length Jacket.
With the current Kuiu raingear sale: would the Yukon set be ideal for this hunt or overkill? (I've got to buy a pair a rain pants at some point.)
Should I be looking at a real soft shell: Sitka Jetstream, Kuiu Guide?
Or just use the Kenai/Stormtight combo? My stormtight is black, but judging from pictures camo is an afterthought on goat hunts.
Thanks!
