If you are in the field more than a day, you need high quality rubber rain gear to keep dry and protect you from the wind. If you are only day hunting or returning to someplace warm you can dry your rain gear, then you can get by with gor-tex. Gortex will become saturated if not dried out (on daily basis), I know, I hualed a wet gor-tex coat that weighed about 9 pounds for 10 days on a carribou hunt, will Never do that again. Also, just plan on being wet for most of the hunt if it rains! You will either get wet from sweet, or the rain at some point. I confirm, Helly Hansen Impertec!!!
