Thread: Compact wet-weather gear?

Anyone have some ideas about light wet weather gear? I've used el cheapo pocket-stash nylon jackets and pants and want something similar but better:

For hunting and hiking it should be:
-Light
-Compact
-Good rain protection
-Durable
-Quiet, possible?

For cycling:
-Good rain and wind protection

I don't mind spending some coin because I'm sick of the cheap stuff letting me down!

Cheers

Ive got a Stoney Creek Huntlite jacket that rolls up into its own hood and I'd rate it- think it cost about 270?

I can't remember the brand but its a dark blue jacket and leggings sold at farm lands. Water proof wind proof light its good stuff. Quite a soft feeling material too doesnt feel like cheap plastic coats. Hopefully a farmer here will know what I'm talkin about

Thanks for the tips!

Is it the kaiweka stuff? I use it. Its definitely waterproof, but its like being wrapped in glad warp-it doesn't breathe at all.

You might be better off with something like a gore-tex jacket from an outdoor brand, they crush up to bugger all.

Honestly can't remember. But yeah I don't think it's breathable
