Rain gear

[Manosteel]

What kind of rain gear do you use and what does it weight. Currently my rain gear is about 50 oz for both jacket and pants, not super loud but not silent either.

 

[dotman]

Jacket is 14oz and is loud when dry, I don't have or take rain pants. Can't remember exactly what model I have but it is an Outdoor Research jacket.

 

[Broken Arrow]

I have a cabela's rain jacket it weights 24oz. It is in the middle on noise not quiet but not real loud either.

I just received the 2013 FirstLite jacket... weighs right around 20 oz. Haven't gotten to try it out though.

When you do get a chance to test it, I'm very curious on the breathability of it.

Correct. I physically live in my Kuiu, it's my standard go-to outerwear unless it's hot n sunny out. Good stuff fosho.

Shaun,

I use the space rain gear top here in CO and it works great. I can't justify buying really expensive stuff when I only wore it a few times also during the very few rain storms.

Kuiu Chugach rain gear. Previously was Cabelas MT050 gear - good stuff and still has its place, just not on backpack hunts.

 

[luke moffat]

kuiu chugach here as well

 

[sk1]

i wish i knew someone local with the chugach to see what it looks and feels like.....i think this core4 torrent stuff is pretty impressive especially at camofire prices, although as ruttin mentioned in his review, it looks like it may take a bit to dry out

to save weight i am debaiting on not taking my kuiu guide jacket for my early season hunt and use my rain jacket over the top of the spindrift if it gets cold

 

[BigSurArcher]

I'm really curious what the new Kryptek Poseidon will weigh in at. Anybody have intel? It looked and felt like really nice stuff for backpacking in checking it out at the show.
