Should we be expecting a $700 price tag for the entire setup? Ha
Probably more.
This got me thinking, so I'll share what I gathered from my internet research for heavy duty rain gear.
Stone Glacier M7 Set- $698 - 44.8 oz - 2.8 lbs
Kuiu Yukon Set (not the new one)- $708 - 46.2 oz -2.89 lbs
First Lite Omen Set- $780 - 56.25 oz. - 3.52 lbs
Sitka Thunderhead Set- $678 - 47.95 oz. - 3 lbs.
Obviously it's not apples to apples, but the Sitka, Kuiu, and Stone Glacier sets are pretty close in price and weight. Firstlite is heavier and more expensive, but I can't say which is better because all I have is the M7 jacket. But I have no plans to sell that jacket anytime soon.
Also I'm assuming the new Yukon rain gear will be out Wednesday, because they're having a Tech Talk Monday and it would follow the pattern of the superdown they just released. The Tech Talk is about "the all-new Encounter series, designed for stand hunting in early- to mid-season conditions". I think this is because their whitetail Proximity line is more late season? I'm still looking forward to their waterfowl line so I can go on my backcountry DIY OTC duck hunts at 11,000 feet.
I was gonna include
@ForlohFamily in my list but I didn't see any weights for that jacket. The sets costs $828 though.
