Cabela's.....................check out their stuff. I forget the exact name of the stuff I have, but I know I bought it there. Light and works.

PS: stay away from Frogg Togs, junk and a waste of money.

I've heard a few people say they didnt like it, but I've had GREAT luck with Gander Mtn's Tech20 stuff...

I have the original version (I think they have two different liner options now).

Uninsulated, breathes about as well as rain gear can (which is a misnomer), and blocks the wind like whoah. It's actually really quiet, too. I use it as an outer layer when it's windy or there's cool winds because I've found that it's actually better at blocking wind than my fleece midseason gear.

And, they've been durable...I have to be on my 5th season with it.

I bought Herters Fowl-Tech rain wear back for the 2008 turkey season.  Just completed 2011 turkey season,( wetest on record) and  the jacket and pants are in great shape yet.  I use it almost every day during bow season for deer, even though it's not raining.  Bought a larger size to go over other clothing. It's really  a great product for the money. It stays waterproof.  I paid 40 bucks for the jacket and 35  for the pants back then. Just looked them up in Cabela's and they run 75 for the jacket, 70 for the pants. Boy, have things gone up. Should have bought 2 sets for a later date. The only complaint I have is never getting enough pockets for all my stuff.  My son says to get a backpack. Dad likes pockets with good zippers. Call me old fashion.

I have a set of Cabela's Revolution Fleece with Dry-Plus -Insulated and the Uninsulated version.  They're not noiseless but they're not bad.  I also have a set of their packable rainwear.  I'd say it's much quieter but I don't believe it will give much warmth.  I haven't had any of it out in a downpour.  I wore the packable suit through turkey season this year and was very happy with it.
