Does it need to be camo?  I have been looking at raingear, and the Marmot Precip gear gets very good reviews and costs a lot less than Kuiu or Sitka options.
other than price, the kuiu is much better than the marmot

Good to know, I want a good set for backpacking as well as hunting.

Is it better in terms of breathability, waterproofness?

the kuiu is more breathable and waterproof than my precip, i dont know about durability.
for the price though, precip is hard to beat

I haven't tried the KUIU yet. Right now I use the Sitka Downpour. It will keep you dry without doubt, I have worn mine during W Wa worst.
 The noise doesn't bother me, if I'm wearing it, its raining.

I'll look at the KUIU, but I won't ordrer it without seeing it 1st.

What was wrong with the size?  Did it fit too small?
