Shell/rain jacket

[rob86jeep]

Whats a good shell/rain jacket for SW CO archery (September)? I have an black REI puffy and black Patagonia light weight rain jacket I can use over the puffy but am trying to decide if I should buy a different rain jacket just because of the color and use it anytime my puffy is on regardless of rain. If I do, I was thinking the FL Vapor Stormlight in brown or Fusion or maybe the Kuiu Church in dark gray. Do you think it be helpful or just stick with my black Patagonia?

I hunted SW CO Archery last year and needed a rain jacket one day out of seven. Does your puffy have a DWR coating? Unless it's pouring you won't need much. I think you would be fine with what you got, however I have the FL Vapor in Dark Earth and love it - I use it for more than hunting situations so it was worth it for me.

I believe it does have a DWR coating; I'm mainly concerned about it being black though.

Just look at it from a performance viewpoint. I have a black puffy too and never felt the need to use any of the bright rain jackets I’ve owned for the sake of making myself visible. I’m usually in a crowded co unit.
