What do you think of the Precip jackets and pants for waterproof-ness and breathability? I've been wanting to pick up a non-camo outer layer for earlier season scouting and hiking (stealth mode )
One thing that I would like to point out to anyone reading this thread is that you don't have to buy Kuiu or Sitka or any of those other over priced backcountry hunting clothing. I know that they are taylored towards hunting and I also know that they are great products, but some of the prices that they charge are ridiculous!! If you go to a websites like backcountry.com or Campmor.com you can get backcountry clothing from a broader market and better prices and they actually have sales. For example I purchased a pair of Stoic microcloth pants recently for $60 bucks they're are water repellent, wind proof, stretchable and quiet enough for archery hunting in my opinion. Now find a new pair of sitka pants for something close to that. The only problem that you'll have is finding stuff that is'nt so flashy and bright, it kinda seems like thats the theme for the granola's.
Marmot Precip works well. I use it everyday in the high country whether its raining or not. Plenty of nice fleece on sale all year if you know where to look for midlayers.

Shop around and you can find one for 60-70 bucks, pack up the size of a nalgene liter bottle and weigh next to nothing.
