Best rain jacket?
Looking for hooded rain jacket suggestions.. durability and water resistance.. who makes a good one?

I have a Simms hooded rain coat that I bought through Cabela’s. Absolutely the best I’ve owned. They aren’t cheap……..then again I’ve never seen many cheap ones that shed as much water as this one does!

Rain jacket
Definitely buy something made with gore-tex fabric as a liner. Buy a military gore-tex parka coat with hood as they are tuff, I mean tuff. I have many jackets/coats with gore-tex and they ALL work extremely good if you are standing or in a blind. NOTHING works good if you are walking like coon hunting, as you will sweat faster than the coat can wick away the body moisture created by sweating. I have tried the very best and get the same results when walking like coon hunting. I get just about as wet from sweating as I would from the rain, except from being as cold without the rain gear. Gore-tex works on the principle of the pores being to small to let rain or snow in and let the sweat out. This is fine for fishing, standing still, or in a blind, but fails where one is walking to fast to let the sweat evaporate fast enough. I have never owned anything that could keep me dry while climbing mountains or steep ridges following these coon dogs. Beats nothing, but you WILL get wet from sweat if you do any kind of fast walking, no matter how good the rain coat. Dave

Ryan, look on eBay and look for military gore-tex parka, they are over sized to put on over other clothing, so select your size with that in mind. Military parkas are made extra tough and will last. You can use guest checkout if you do not have a eBay account. You can not beat these parkas for the price, just make sure you get the one with gore-tex. I own many different brands of gore tex coats, parkas and the US military gore tex parkas are the best for protection and durability in my opinion. Dave
