Need best Rain Gear suggestions

[JFB]

I'm looking for suggestions on which brand of 100% waterproof jacket and pant you are happy with? 

 

I'm looking for uninsulated bottoms that are "form fitting" so that they are not baggy and like a wet sack of potatoes when rained on. For the jacket, I'm looking for WARM which might require a layering system. This will be used for gun season and late ML season on out of state trips where you hunt regardless of the weather. 

 

So far, I found an Under Armor jacket that is not bad (but it's $400) but many are that expensive. I've not been able to test the fit of their UA pants that are 100%wp. I also considered Nomad which looks like a nice pant but seems their jacket is pretty light. I was not a fan of the fit on Sitka waterproof pant.

 

Thanks.

JFB - my impression was that UA runs a bit small, just as an FYI.  I have core4element rain gear.  Its light and reasonably formfitting, but definitely not warm.

Gosh I won an entire suit  and gave it to Mr B...but I had to try it out and give a review...It was awesome...... hiked my woods(the hill) in warm weather in a down pour and went turkey hunting...First suit I didn't sweat like a pig in and it kept me bone dry...Dang if I can remember the brand name right now...but I will find where he put it and post later. that was a few years ago and the retail suggestion was like 149/79 for each piece not sure but thats close...Never mind...it was GAME HIDE

I just bought that nomad set that is being advertised on facebook. Brand new company this year. I like it. Fits very nicely, and conforms nice. Super quiet too.

I should add that I haven't worn it yet hunting. My deal braker with rain suits is how quiet it is. The jacket is nice and thick to so it looks very warm

Thanks all. Which Nomad jacket was thick? 

[LuckyPickle123]

Integrator shell jacket. I may be wearing it here in the next day or so with this rain. I'll let you know how warm it is, but I plan on just layering underneath it anyways. That's why I went a size big.

Another thing is that if you plan on wearing it bow hunting when it's not raining and quiet outside, they may catch you pulling your bow back because it does make a slight noise there. But I only plan on wearing mine when it's pouring out

I bought the Kuiu Chuggach rain jacket in Verde and the waterproof tundra glove shell  I wore it for 4 hours in the pouring rain and was completely dry.  It is a 4 way stretch so it fits really well, even if you have a large jacket underneath it.

 

I couldn't recommend it more
