Filson Tin pants.  Don't really have a jacket recommendation, but looks like plenty of good ones listed already.

 Filson tin pants, Watershed rain coat and a well oiled Filson wide brim hat.
 If your sweating in your rain gear hunting Blacktails you need to slow down and hunt.

Cabela's Dry Plus has worked for me for about 10 years now. They broke down once in a squall 5 years ago so I just retreated them with a kit I bought at Cabela's and they're still going strong. I thought they were a little loud but once they get wet they really quiet down.

I am about to return/exchange my dryplus the bibs worked ok.  The jacket soaks through anywhere there is aany pressure and the pockets.  My problem is finding something that doesn't burn you up on the bike.

My girlfriend and I use Kryptek Koldo, tough stuff, used to have First Lite Stormtight, really liked it but was a little fearful of tearing it due to the lightweight material.

I cant find nothing better that Helly Hansen Impertech for waterproof, but its too sweaty. So I stop on REI talusphere for light/moderate rain but for heavy I wear Coghlan's rain poncho on top of Talusphere.

I have been using Army issue Gortex for 9 years, and they do the trick for westside bush pushing through just about anything.  I have the same pairs I bought originally which I have treated once or twice when needed.  They are a little loud, but honestly the rain is much louder so I have never given it much thought.   I have walked up on plenty of deer and elk wearing them in the rain so  :dunno:

I like the "Fleck" German surplus camo bibs & jackets from Sportsmans Guide.

Waterproof
Durable in the thick brush
Surprisingly quiet
And cheap!  :llam:

I got a pair of filson field pants on clearance a few years ago. I wear muck boots and have worn my wool pants under them in the cold. Super comfortable and fairly quiet. They are made from breathable wader material.

Best rain pants short of PVC I've ever owned.

I just wear tin pants and a grundens raincoat if it's raining hard I can still walk right in on them.

Hahaa, glad I'm not the only one.  I still wear corks, and I don't slip on those wet walk logs in the timber.  Old habits...

I was in my today for 4 hours solid down pour and stayed almost completely dry besides a little wet on the front of my neck and the very bottom of my sleeves. Pretty amazing. I think that was from water blowing in though
