I find the underlayers are just as important to wet weather comfort, that some good ventilation and materials that handle wet well. I prefer water proof if out for extended periods. There are some nice breathables that are comfortable in some moisture, I have a Patagonia, Rain Shadow Jacket, nothing fancy but is light and has held up for years, easy to carry so you have it when needed. IIRC it was a component of the MARS System...
Stay dry :lifter

Me too...

Was at the range yesterday about 14 degrees and my buddy had a very thin digital Camo coat on, ...100% waterproof..... SITKA. $ 550.00
He has too much money

Look into Kryptek outdoor. Veteran owned and operated. Great material and product. Comes in a variety of patterns. It's been tested in the deepest of wilderness in Alaska. Check it out

Wet Weather Gear.
 

I am a true believer in... "You learn something new everyday." I checked out that Canadian wet weather gear. I am impressed. The Canook's finally came up with a good piece of gear. Thanks gents. Very helpful information and I wasn't even looking for it or thinking about it.

Hate to resurrect something but this post relates to some info I am looking for.

Tax returns are coming in soon and I'm caught up on everything so I've decided to splurge on something I otherwise wouldn't be able to get. I'm looking to get a set of Arcteryx rain gear, trying to decide between the Alpha and Gryphon, I'll be using them for hunting, rucking, training on the range and any issue's where I might be forced to leave the house in a hurry, thus I'm looking for something fairly pack-able and breathable, I am also in Hurricane country. I train with both a chest rig and plate carrier.

Does anyone have any experience with these products?

Alpha
 

I have had the alpha gear for several years AFSOC used to issue it. It is great light weight and breathable. Most important it is durable and WORKS as advertised. Only problem is it is very expensive ($700+ for top). but i think that you get your monies worth. Look into the LEAF program
