I’m not comfortable in the rain regardless of what I’m wearing. Call me soft but unless I get caught out in it I’m not willingly going out in anything moderate or heavier rainfall. Thinking an old PVC camo rain jacket to wear for boat rides and when it gets really nasty over my normal water resistant outer layers is the more sensible route. My favorite coat is an Under Armour hoodie, that thing is lightweight and warm for its size but they no longer make it as they got out of waterfowl gear. I have a Columbia Widgeon shell that leaks like a sieve even after waterproofing so it’s going back but they don’t even seem to offer much for hunting anymore so who know what they would replace with.
I can definitely see the benefit of the higher end stuff for mountain or backpack hunting but I do neither of those.
