Thread: Rain coat.

Stony creek tussock is good.. 6 months in the rain in nachengwea Tanzania , did not get wet,, 18 months doing possums and ferrets day in day out and it's still going strong.
No pockets =no leaks

Swazi thar anorak used for the past 3 years. twice in Stewart island in the pissing rain and snow for 10 days. top jacket wont leave home with out it.

Swazi one tough mutha. Is just what it says. Light and completely water proof and from memory has like a 5 yr warranty

Earth Sea Sky jackets are amazing, I have a lot of friends that use them and rate them very high. Being made in NZ it's great to support the brand.
I own an Arc'teryx Alpha LT Pro Shell and I love it! Couldn't ask for a better jacket, payed $500 for it instead of $850 and after using it once over New Years in the horrible rain, it more than payed for itself. I now swear by it! Mind you, I use it for Mountaineering and Tramping, not hunting.

I've got the Alpha, Alpha LT and Alpha pants. If you want lightweight & packable go the LT. If you want increased weather protection and abrasion resistance, go the Alpha. Best wet weather gear I've owned. Quietest that I've used, not much "swoosh swoosh". Arc'teryx has it's reputation for a reason.

The Alpha Parka looks nice, but if it's that wet I'll just put the pants on.

Hopefully they will last me many years. I haven't needed their lifetime warranty yet, but I have heard that they look after their customers.

My stoney creek stillwater is pretty good. Been in some horrible weather and its kept me dry

I ended up getting the Tahr XP and really like but the sizing was not quite right for a tall skinny fella like myself so I gotta sell it. Will get a custom one when funds allow...

Hunters Element XTR, seems good, fairly lite , rolls up pretty small into its hood, will test it again tomorrow
