I need some recommendations, please. I'm going buy new rain gear for an elk and mule deer hunt I'm going on in September. I need it to be un-insulated and not too hot, plus it's got to be pretty quiet. When I say quiet, I mean that I don't want it to be crinkling and crackling (like Frog-Togs) when I move and I don't want it making a bunch of noise when it rubs against some brush or I walk through sage or high grass. And I don't want to spend over about 300 bucks total for a parka or jacket, plus pants or bibs. What do y'all recommend?

I don't really like rain gear with Gore-Tex because I've always sweated like a whore in church wearing anything with Gore-Tex and in less than an hour I'm just as wet as if I didn't have on ANY rain gear.

I'm headed to northwest Wyoming the last week of September for a combo elk and mule deer hunt. We'll be packing in on horses and hunting in Areas 84 and 86 on a general tag. I'm not very familiar with this area, but have been told to bring some decent rain gear.

Thanks in advance.

Tim
