I usually carry my Impertech but i'm looking for other options right now. Seriously considering the Marmot Aegis jacket and Precip pants. The precips are fantastic. My go-to's for many years now... Pack small, too. I've worn them on Kodiak several times in the worst **** possible and will be taking them for goat is a few weeks...proven time and time again. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc395/litebeam1/DSCN3494.jpg)

Has anyone tried the Russell APX Cyclone jacket

Has any one gotten the light pants and what are impressions?
If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer or elk but how he hunted it.

Are you talking about the Switchback pants? If so, I have a pair and the fit and finish is very good on them but the one thing that may need some tweaking are the knee pads. I put them in and they fall below my knee but when I get down on my knees like I was going to do some stalking, they seemed to fall into place. I would leave them out until I needed them as they are light enough to carry in the daypack.
Still having trouble deciding on a rain jacket, right now the Marmot Aegis jacket and the PreCip pants are the front runners.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Core4Element at Camofire tonight for half price of retail....$125. Smokin' deal on great gear.
Edit>>> jackets are up now at $125 with "free ship option" for pants which are offered at $125.
Get 'em while you can guys; they are going fast. Pants have "tall" size options too...

Picked up the Jacket. Heard some weird things about the pants. Will report back on the jacket when I get it. Hoping to put it up next to my 90% and see how it fairs.

I did too.
Hopefully it compares in quality and finish...

I picked up the jacket and pant deal...the fit for me was not that good....the arms, especially the forearms were too tight to ever wear any layers...this was an XL. I am 5'9" 200lbs, 10% BF.
The area around chest, shoulders, length of arms and the rest of the fit was perfect. I could have exchanged it or an XXL but don't like wearing big belly baggy jackets just to fit my arms.
Most jackets I find, the shoulders and chest area is too tight and belly area is too big.
I also got the pants...I will tell you for me they ran a size too small...I am a 34 waist so I ordered the large...I could wear them but again...no layers were going underneath...lol
Once again I could have exchanged for an XL but the rise of the pants were already way too long to wear. I felt like the crotch was almost to my knees so the XL would be ridiculous.
Camofire refunded my money no problem and were great to deal with but I am waiting on them for the next batch they have made to see if the fit is better.

Just got back from a mountain goat hunt in Alaska...
The core4element jacket performed flawlessly. I wore it in light drizzle for days and it was excellent with no leak-through. I only needed my Marmot precip rain gear for real downpours.
I didn't take my core4element pants, just the element jacket.

Glad to hear the jacket performed as advertised. I'm taking both the jacket and pants along with my 90% jacket and pants and will do a comparison on my sheep hunt which starts tomorrow.
So how was the goat hunt?
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.
