LOL. I wore mine on a 12 day walk-in sheep hunt in AK. It rained constantly. They did fine and I still have them, even after sliding down a gravel chute on my butt with a pack full of meat. I think I go through 2 per year, but I wear it a lot more than 12 days. As I said they are a fairly cheap good throw away jacket and pants.

You're my hero but I do have a question. If you have to throw away two pairs a year why do you keep buying them?

I've had good luck with Grundens Weather Watch stuff. $50-$60 and usually holds up for a few years of hunting/wood cutting/fishing and whatnot.

Quiet and waterproof is tough. PVC ain't bad but not quiet. I like the Kuiu Chugach stuff, but waterproof it isn't Your best bet could be to just get wet, and have spare clothes/pvc when you don't want to be wet.
