Default Rain gear??

Thanks Steve. Will the hydro-fleece stand up to a day long downpour?

Hi Shelby,

For over ten years, I've been using Mad Dog camo rain gear. Mine is
uninsulated, as I prefer to layer underneath to give me the versatility of
using it in warmer weather. The Mad Dog stuff is comfortable to wear, as
it doesn't get damp and clammy while wearing it and does a good job of
stopping the wind as well. I've worn this stuff while hunting and it's
quiet as well. Wearing this, I've taken over a dozen whitetail deer, two
black bears and a caribou. Even though I've worn this extensively, almost
year round, it's just now starting to leak a little at the seams. So I
consider it to have given me a lot of great service and has been a very
good investment. It's a short jacket and bibs.

Now, if you really want something insulated, look for Browning
Hydro-Fleece. I have some of that too, a longer coat (with a zip out
liner) and bibs. This is insulated gear and have proven to be extremely
warm, and waterproof. I've worn it hunting in cold down to -18.
