What works? I have some north face hyvent venture pants and I kinda like them. But after reading some reviews I guess this line doesnt seem to last too long.

If you want something more durable grundens are decent and in your range. If it's really coming down and/or I expect to be doing any sort of heavy work I'll be wearing these.

Marmot precip is good for being lightweight, packable, reasonably waterproof, and somewhat breathable. If just for hiking and light chores, it will be fine.Yeah it would mostly be for hiking and mild outdoors stuff. If I get caught in the rain kinda thing, Just to keep the wett out long enough to get out of the weather.

Camofire.com just had the Core 4 Element rain jacket on sale for $90, I bought one a month ago, and they seem to be very well built. Sale on Camofire is done, but if you're interested, call the customer service number and let them know what you're looking for, and they'll hook you up.
Who makes the Core 4 Element?

The other stuff I have that I like is the Cabelas space rain. It does tear easy so I wouldn't buy it for hunting if you're always in the thick stuff. It's quieter, packs down super small and is very Light.
I owned this and eventually sold it because it tore too easily, though it worked well and was extremely light if you weren't risking it in the underbrush.
FTF runs the Marmot Precip and it seems to hold up just fine. I've had multiple people recommend them whom I trust, so when someone is looking for a decent set without spending top dollar, this is where I send them.

Pants are pretty much shot. Jacket is still good. Ive got Sitka Nimbus top and bottom now so I likely won't replace the space rain stuff.
