Just watched this video again. I thought I wanted to get a set of the North Branch stuff when the jacket came out, but now I'm thinking that I want to get a set of the Boundary Stormtight when the pants come out....decisions, decisions.
I'm a big fan of softshells for the strech/durability factor, but it looks like those stormtight pants are pretty burly and also have quite a bit of flex. Is the jacket the same way? I don't have much familiarity with high-end hunting rainwear--mostly own cheaper backpacking stuff like marmot precip (which doesn't have much flex, nor can it survive alot of crawling, scrambling, brushbusting), and also super-heavy duty Simms products (which are great, but pretty impractical for backcountry travel).
When hunting I carry my backpacking raingear, but really don't want to put it on unless its actually raining! I'd much rather have a multi-purpose waterproof layer, especially once there's snow on the ground. My backpacking stuff is fine for dry September hunts, but for damper months I was thinking about picking up the softshells. Now I'm thinking the stormtight (carried in early season, worn over layers later on) could do both?
Any personal experience that could shed light on these factors (mobility and durability) re: the stormtight v. the northbranch would be greatly appreciated.
