Rain Gear

[BroodBuster]

I sweat just looking at my set of Grundens. My set is about twenty years old and looks and wears brand new. But I only wear it at camp or on boats. For hunting and rowing my drifter I've been very happy with my Sitka Cloudbursts. I'd want to bring both. One for camp while the Sitka dries. I'd rather be soaking wet than hike in my Grundens.

I am with Luke, 2 sets if you can swing it. I spent a while on Raspberry Island in 2014. I was real glad to have multiple sets. I alternated between the KUIU Yukon and the Sitka Stormfront. If I were to go again I would probably do Sitka Stormfront and First Lite's new SEAK jacket and Stormtight Pants. I also really like Sitka's Coldfront Rain Gear, but its definitely late season / cold weather gear.

I've had the Chugach and now the Yukon but have always wanted the Coldfront. I just could never find it on sale in the right size and color.
Is the fleece lining the only difference from the Stormfront?

The pants are sort of a quasi rear bib sort of deal and the jacket does not have pit zips. I have the Coldfront in solid gray and its pretty much my winter jacket. It seems to be a tougher fabric than the Stormfront, but it could be the inner lining that makes it feel thicker. What size / pattern are looking for?
Black Ovis has a sale going...

Not cheap, but good gear, that's for sure.
