Rain Gear - SG vs First Lite

[Pilgrim2094]

Debating between picking up the SG M5 set and the FL Omen set. Comparing specs, I know I’ll save weight with the M5. Does anyone have direct comparisons of these two rain sets? I’m leaning M5 for my use case but would love to hear feedback from those that have experience with both. Thanks!

I don't have any first hand experience with any of them so this might be a shit post, but

when I was doing research picking a rain jacket I settled on the Kuiu Northridge. Just wanted to make your choice a little harder.
Best of luck. please post what you get and what you think about it.

Two categories of rain gear:
packable and subject to wetting out
-or- rubberized and will never wet out but are heavy?

Don’t have any first hand experience with the ones you mentioned, I landed on Sitka Dew Point and have been pleased with performance specifically the pack ability, durability, and venting
