I have the down pour, cloud burst, and cold front.
While fishing/working in Alaska/wa on a boat under some real down pours, the stuff has kept me 100 percent dry. It is only till elk season in sw wa that I have not had that good of luck with any of it. Seems like the hiking and walking through brush almost pushes the water through the clothing. But at the same time, another set works perfect.
Down pour pants and jacket I only use while on the boat. If I'm sitting this stuff is perfect. When you start hiking, the inside starts to crack.
My first set of cloud burst pants and jacket leaked so bad I almost never gave them a second chance. The new pair has worked so far perfect.
Love my cold front pants during wet November hunting season. No issues. But you still must layer yourself once it gets below 38 degrees as it won't keep you/me warm enough.
Lucky for me when I did have a problem, Sitkas warranty is the best and I have been sent new clothing at no extra cost.

As far as rain gear the Dewpoint is a light rain jacket meant to get you through a storm or for the lightweight backpacker.
The stormfront is my go-to rain gear if I am going to be hunting through brush and wet vegetation all day.

I don't mind savin up and buying the good good stuff as long as its worth the money that's why I'm doin my research now..I don't want to spend 5-800 on rain gear and not like it
Thanks for all that info Mikey :tup:

They are both good products, but comparing similar models, the Kuiu fits a little better, and seems to be a little better quality. The Sitka rain gear is made with Gortex, which doesn't breathe at all. The Kuiu rain gear breathes very well, and is more durable. Kuiu is usually cheaper too.

I have the 90% series and the Cloudburst series as well. I love them both. I wore my 90% during this years turkey hunt and it was super hot but the 90% kept me cool and was breathable. My cloudburst fits and is extremely comfortable. I wore my Cloudburst during the last massive rain storm and i stayed super dry and warm. I also wore it on a hot day and kept cool as well comfortable.[/s]
Ignore muleyslayer and buy Kuiu :chuckle:
Seriously I have had some Sitka gear and it's performed well but you get more bang for your buck with Kuiu.
