Rivers West for me, I still have all my cabelas dry plus clothes and they work to a point, but they are no match for rivers west gear. I had it last year for the high hunt and it rained for 2 days. Thank god for good gear.  I still use my dry plus when i am shed hunting, so I dont wear out my other stuff. Rivers West also has a ten year warrentee on thier gear.

The best way to stay dry is a sunny day  :P I do have a browning gor-tex jacket that I use but the rain does not bother me much. I work outdoors on the water all winter. If it really raining you will get wet so I focus on wearing clothes that will keep me warm.

Being prior military in Washington State, I used my fair share of gortex. It kept me dry, warm, and broke the wind well. Downside, it is noisy and you can sweat really hard in it if you are on the move.  For my first archery season, I bought a decent set of wet weather gear (jacket and pants) for about a hundred bucks from warehouse sports in skagit. They worked really well for the price, but I made the mistake of wearing the gear when it wasn't raining. Next season, that stuff is in my pack until I need it. Also remember, military gear is made by the lowest bidder.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
