Need backpacking rain gear

[SDHNTR]

Been using Cabelas Space Rain for years, but the most recent set I bought has been terrible. Wets out in 1/4” of rain. Is there something better that will pack up small and light?

Lots of options, just need to figure out how much you want to spend and how nice of rain gear you need/want!

My next set will involve a better/heavier jacket with pit zips. Currently have the OR helium jacket @ 6oz. Has worked great for the past few years but I know it has its limitations (hasn’t failed yet).


Been really happy with the kuiu chugach pants @ like 10oz. They are quiet enough to hunt in and pack down well.
