I want a good but lightweight rain jacket to add to my kit. My current rain jacket is 33 ounces and semi bulky. I never end up wet but it’s too heavy to bring backpacking all the time.

I’m stuck between the stone glacier x1 jacket or the kuiu chugach. I want something that will keep me dry but also perform for multiple years/ hunts. Nobody likes purchasing something that doesn’t last.

The X 1 is cheaper and lighter but according to the specs it’s similar to the kuiu chugach. But I will say the kuiu chugach is a has proven itself through the years.

All opinions are welcome
 
I've got both the Chugach and Yukon. Chugach has been wonderful for me, only issue was when my wife dried in a hot dryer and the seem tape came off. Emailed Kuiu and told them exactly what happened, they replaced the jacket no charge. The Yukon is quite a bit tougher, but it is also probably double the weight. So, if I am packing in somewhere, the Chugach goes.
