Rain gear?

[Silentstalker]

Hey guy's,

I have never hunted Alaska before and am headed up to hunt sitka blacktails in 2 years. I know this can be a very wet hunt at times.

I would like to know what you all recommend for rain gear? I will be bowhunting so lightweight and something that wont break the bank is my hope.

Any suggestions?

Another vote for HH Impertech. This is rubberized raingear so you will sweat when you climb. I also own gortex MTD 050 from Cabelas and a Marmot precip jacket. They all work in different situations but none are perfect for every situation. I ususally take two of the jackets on trips unless I am backpacking.

+1 on the HH Impertech. I used the 3/4 length coat with some OR CROC gaiters and left the rain pants at home. Combine this with Cabelas Microtex and your good. This stuff wont stay wet.

Thanks guy's! I will look into those!

So the Helly Hansen Impertech II stuff looks great and is very reasonably priced. I think I am going to pick up a set. Thanks again for all your help!
