So, I too am looking for new rain/camo hunting wear. I have heard a lot of hype about Sitka. I have yet to try on the Cloudburst or Downpour. I like the price point of the Cloudburst better. However, spending $500-$1500 on a set seems scary. The last three years I have worn Cabelas dry plus pants, xtratuff boots, and grundens gage rain jacket in black. I always just throw on a long sleeve 1/4 zip shirt in real tree pattern underneath; so if the rain stops; I just take the jacket off and pack it on my back. I would like to invest in some nicer gear. I feel like spending more money on durable attire is appropriate for where we live. Hunting coastal areas here in late October and through November = wet wet wet. It is hard to decide about going with a gortex style jacket that is "loud"; vs a "hush hide" style jacket. When it's down pouring and blowing; I don't think its going to matter how loud the material is.
Any other suggestions for a pair of pants and a jacket would be great. Why did Sitka stop making the forest print? I haven't seen that pattern available online?
