Title: revisit
Post by: flinger on October 31, 2010, 03:09:37 PM: Oh crap RAINGEAR AGAIN!!!
so here's the deal,figured out that most of my issues are from drenching underbrush soaking my pants and wicking down my legs and into my boots. so i am tossing around options for just rain pants logged over 100 miles yesterday store hopping,there are a helluva lot of options so a couple of questions 1 is there any good gear for a cheap price $20 to $50 that anyone is aware of and is it worth looking at cheaper stuff or 2 i was looking real hard at the new rivers west frontier pant wife thinks they are a bit spendy but i really like the material 3 has anybody used or have any thoughts about russel outdoors gear
thanks for any input

I found them for about half the price listed on this page.

You can feel the sweat beading up and then running down your body. That is with the vents open. This year I am going to try cabelas dry plus uninsulated fleece or pony up some big money for some quality camo wool. We'll see bagin cave has the dry plus pants at a pretty good price and I've heard good things.
