Turkeygirl Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ok, so I've been trying to find a good set of rain pants and a rain jacket, preferably the nylon kind. The cheapest, best bet so far is Cabela's - $40 for a jacket and $20 for pants- does anyone own that raingear from Cabela's or know how well it works in wet weather? I've looked at Gander Mountain, EMS,REI, and Campmor, Cabela's being about the closest I can find to what I want. Oh another question, does anyone know what the difference is between Waterproof and Water repellant? Which is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Re: Rain gear... My advice would be to save your money and wait until you get enough for one of the waterproof laminates that are all over the market now like Goretex. Anything less and you will be disappointed IMHO. Waterproof means you won't get wet, and most of them guarantee it. Water repellent means it will repel water, but eventually, you're gonna' get wet.

LifeNRA Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Re: Rain gear... I got a set of Stern's rain wear in HD Hardwoods. Works great, got it at Walmart. Maybe check their website or go to Stern's website. But if I were to buy another set it will be Goretex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Re: Rain gear... I use Army Issued Gore-Tex. Bought the Jacket and Pants from an Army Surplus store in town for around $140. Best investment ever. Especially in the early season, you won't get so hot in them. And never get wet!
