Thread: decent gear without the price tag

With @MB on this one. Every rain jacket and tent (found that out last roar trip over 36 hours of rain) has a hydrostatic head limit - how much water it can take before it absorbs through. The reality is unless you are running a solid rubber rain jacket or the like, which is not breathable, at some point it is going to wet through. Also reckon the whole waterproof boots pitch is a bit of a have - along with goretex. So, I use a lighter Swazi Rifleman and do smaller stinks in the wet, and plan my hunts accordingly.
