YOU CAN'T BEAT IT..... I have taken it through down pours and wet brush and you stay bone dry. It breaths like no other.

Personally I wear the packable MT050 raingear and on the colder days 35 and under I'll toss on some light long jons underneath.... I've hunted in this same raingear on 80 degree days and it works wonders...

I've also got the MT050 and it's pretty good stuff. I do find it a wee bit noisy though. It passes the fingernail test fine but since it's a layered fabric I find the goretex layer "crinkles" against the MT050 layer. So it stays in the backpack until it gets stormy or I'm going to be sitting for a while. When it's stormy out the woods are plenty loud enough that it covers the "crinkle" noise. Even the ambiant noise in the store is enough to cover the "crinkle noise but I do notice it on the real calm misty days though which is when I just stay with layers.

Having said that it's still the best hunting raingear I've found and I sure as hell aint spending $300 on the Sitka stuff.
