|
|
OK,
One more thing... I am looking for packable rain gear that doesn't take up to much room in the backpack. I have Military issue gortex park aand pants but these are more for cold weather. I have been looking at cabela's silent stalk gear but according to some of the reviews I have read they really aren't that quiet... What I am looking for is something light weight, breathable, packable and quiet. Has anyone run across something like this in their endeavors???? YH |

| Yankeehunter, We get very little rain here in the west. I usually bring along a cheap waterproof poncho that doesn't make noise. |

| although hiker is right, rain gear is still a good thing to have in your pack. Seems to me i always end up using mine when archery hunting elk here in CO. My rain coat folds up very small and has a carrying case. It's a guide series tech 2.5 from gander mountain. I recomend it, it is very affordable and quiet and has kept me dry while chasin bulls. if you have a gander mountain store near by, check out their rain gear, it's very inexpensive and it works :thumbsup1: |

hellomcfly,
Ok, I have to know are you a big Michael J. Fox fan? Anyway....Now, that was what I was lookin' for....first hand equipment experience...Thanks! Now, my problem is that Gander Mountain has written me off and hasn't sent me a catalogue and the nearest store is 120 miles away. Their website is pretty poor, I couldn't find anything dealing with hunting apparel... I did however, fill out their PDF form for a catalogue...... I currently have the time to wait for a catalogue but they better hurry up...... :D |

| The cabelas dry-plus packable gear is what I bought several years ago its light weight and fairlly compact and really has been worth every penny |
