What peeves me off most - is they state its "breathable" can anyone - give me an example of a waterproof garment that also dosent turn into a sauna with activeness ??
I have a Swazi Wapiti coat (had it 15 years now) its pretty good - but you still wind the Temp dial up and end up wet from sweat.
I cant hunt in it - good on bike or boat
Kuiu. Chugach.
Waterproof and very very breathable.
Don't waste your money on hunters element,tryed most of there gear and it's crap.
Ok so no good, recommendations on a pair lightweight all weather pants?
havent had an issue with my HE jacket or trousers. been out in the wet many times with no problems
Thanks for that - to be honest never heard of the Brand b4Quote:

Don't touch Hunters Element, stick to quality. Kuiu, Swazi and some Stoney Creek jackets.
Only online purchases, that is part of the model, cuts out the middleman.Quote:
