First Lite's 2016 Rain Gear Review, by Matt Wymer (and win your own!!)

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

We regularly test quite a few of our competitors products. Especially those that advertise comparison numbers.

How do they compare?

How do they compare?

We are happy to share test results. What product in particular? We have a lot of internal testing done at the Cocona 37.5 in house lab. But I'll only comment publicly on products we have had tested by vartest, they are one of the best recognized 3rd party testing facilities in the world.

How about The Kuiu Chugach nx?

I may be mistaken, but didn't the first post say that the winner would be chosen from the first 50 to respond?

Don't kill the dream! I didn't even make the top 50 list.

How do the new fabrics hold up to jaggers/briars/thorns?

I assume the lightweight one would not do well, but you'd think you could expect some decent durability out of the heavier version?

Utah-cow elk
Definitely need it for California's rainy season wild pigs

Thank you

How about kryptek koldo and Poseidon?

To go along with First Lites commitment to conservation and to sweeten the deal, if I win the Seak I'll give away my XL Fusion Vapor Stormlight to the first person to PM me after the drawing and then donate 100 to the RMEF or Backcountry Hunters and Anglers I'll even match the 100 dollar donation.

Too bad I'm going to win! Quick question though, why do you want to get rid of your Vapor and try the SEAK?

I have no plans for getting rid of it, but if I win the Seak I'd keep that just because as a mostly eastern tree stand hunter packability is not a huge concern. But I am more than happy with the vapor although I've only had it a week and haven't tested it yet.

Montana Spring Bear first, then Archery Elk and Rifle Deer

I believe the winner gets to pick between the two.

Indeed you're right. I'll try to edit my post to reflect
