If you want an excellent product that is quiet, guaranteed water proof, not water resistant, you can tie off the pantlegs on this stuff and use it to carry water, guaranteed unbreakable and will last forever, this is the way to go.

I have a pair of 10x's... they were only about 30bucks and have that quiet outside lining so you dont get the ZIP ZIP sound when branches brush against them

willie,

I have the Sterns gear too. The jacket isn't bad, but the pants don't breathe well and they are not waterproof. I like them in December for keeping warm, that's about it.

You might find these work OK, at least they work just fine here in Alaska. http://www.hellyhansengear.com/catalog/ ... cts_id=294 I just put my Leafywear over the top, and I feel like I'm ready for the Opera.

I've got Coleman hunting pants. I've sat in snow, and pooring rain, and stayed dry.

I think I bought them at Canadian Tire.

When i was a rookie hunter i listen to everyone who influenced me into buying a cheap pair of pants, bibs and jacket. I learned my lesson very quickly and then and still own a Browning Hydro Suede 4in 1 Gortex suit, complete with pants, jacket and seperate bibs. granted this cost i pretty penny i can say that weather is no objective i never get wet or cold for that matter. Spend the money once and you'll be far ahead in the end! GORTEX a must!

I just invested in a new pair of rain pants. Both breatheable and waterproof. $60. Goretex. Army Surplus. Excellent condition, made to military specs. Olive green, but to a deer, grey. Just like a tree.

Wore them all day today. And it rained all day!! Dry as one can be.
