This year I left the Cabelas Space Rain gear at home in favor of the Driducks Ultralite (they now.call it bi-laminate). It is 11 ounces for the set versus 16 ounces for the Space Rain. I wore it in two days of pretty solid rain and it kept me dry. It doesn't breath very well and it is fairly fragile, but the stuff worked and it never wetted out like Gore Tex can do. It is less than $20 a set. Also, it is the quietest rain gear I have tried.
I have a set of Chugach that is 3 times as heavy, 25 times more expensive, less comfortable, and much louder. The Chugach may breath better but the Driducks is a pretty good set of rain gear for the price. I could throw in three sets for the same weight as the Chugach. I don't hear much about it on the hunting sites (the backpackers love it) but I think it is underrated or maybe undiscovered.
