I (like everyone else) am trying to figure out my wet weather gear. I've got the Marmot Precip jacket and HH Storm pants. They are totally water proof, and they will sweat you up really fast. I've heard good things about the MT50 (light, breathable, packable), but I wonder is it really "water-proof". I looked at the light-weight Rivers West stuff and it looks pretty good. The pants have zippered vents that run the length of your quads, The jacket has zippers on the pits, it feels like fleece and would be quite, (and possibly eliminate the need to carry dedicated rain gear) but I'm concerned that once this stuff gets really wet, it may take it a long time to dry and therefore add water-weight to the load. I don't guess there is any perfect rain gear or we would all have it already, but I would like to hear from someone that has used the MT50 and the Rivers West light-weight stuff if there is anyone out that has.
BTW, my planned use will be for a goat/sheep hunt in BC next fall. Thanks for the help!
