Rain gear?

[Mannsbuick]

Id say your biggest obstacle will be deciding how tough your rain gear needs to be. There are great super lightweight options out there that'll keep you dry, but wont stand up to brush. Conversely there is some bombproof rain gear, but it wont be very pack-able or lightweight.

I know OR makes some good stuff. I currently just have the Cabelas space rain and for my purposes (waiting out quick storms) it hasn't failed me yet. But if i were hunting in an environment where i was living in the rain i would want something like the Sitka storm front maybe the cloudburst or FL Seek. I'm looking at those 3 as options for an Alaska black-tail hunt in august. My buddy has the KUIU Yukon set and its about as tough as it gets, he swears by it.

Hey man! Does your buddy still swear by KUIU Yukon rain gear for hunting and bushwhacking in Alaska? I personally own and still use the original Made in Canada KUIU “ Chugach” rain gear NOT the “NX” version. I know “old school” right? BUT if there is something else better out there “Yukon” “Teton” etc.. I am all ears lol
It’s VERY hard finding good hunting rain gear that’s NOT made in China!!! I like Westcomb, but they don’t make camo lol

Nice find, thanks for sharing.

I am a big fan of these rain pants

and the price is killer... i found these run a bit smaller than others, i prefer these over my chugachs.

Hey man! I just came across this old post. I tried the link for these pants that you wear over your “Chugach’s”, but the link doesn’t work any more! What brand name and model are these pants? Are you still using them? How do they perform as they are a couple of years old now? Thanks for your time I really appreciate it
