Riverswest or ? Outter wear
elkhuntingcouple:
What kind of outter wear do you guys use, we bought the Riverswest and it leaks at the the shoulders on both mine and my husbands. I was really disappointed.
Just wondering what other Washington Rain hunters use.
Thanks
billythekidrock:
Take it back. That stuff is too expensive to leak.
I personally don't care for it. It is just neoprene waders in a different shape. They make ya sweat and then ya get monkey butt.
I think most of us "just deal" with the rain. Most rain gear is noisy or holds in too much heat, yada yada.

I would take it back, mine don't leak. I also have the Cabelas brand and a browning hydrofleece jacket that I bought the first year they came out (1989?) I sweat my butt off in all of them when I am moving. Getting wet from the outside in or the inside out? :bash:
Choclab:
I am NOT looking forward to hunting in the rain at all. :bash: It's gonna suck

:chuckle: I'm not sure what exactly that means, but it sure made me laugh.
For rain, for the last 20 years or so, I had a Cabela's fleece jacket with Gore tex that I used. It works pretty well except it could get to be a little warm when walking, even with only a t shirt on underneath. Sometimes you're better off just wearing wool and getting a little wet. For heavy rain sometimes just a regular rubber, and yes noisy, rain jacket is best. The problem I always have is trying to fit an orange vest over an oversized rain jacket. I usually just end up covering up my orange. :rolleyes:
The other day I saw a jacket that I really think would work good around here. Sure it would be a little noisy, but when it's raining hard enough to require it, the rain will pretty much cover up any little noise it might make. And it takes care of the orange requirement. I think I just might order one today, now that you got me to thinking about it. Here it is:

The problem I've seen is that most of the good rain coats made for hunters are only available in camouflage, and almost never in orange.
