What brand of rain gear

ACU

Yuch Yuch Yuch! Worst woods cammo ever, as... it was never meant to be used in the woods, only in the rubble of Afaganastan.

ACU IMO is more diverse than any other pattern and I'm not plaining on buying three or four sets different patterns just to blend into the surroundings that I might be in at any one given time to stay dry.

Lunchbox... Evolver, I don't think we are allowed to say ACU here....LOL

Ooooops... your correct Lunchbox.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Not to cut my current stuff short, cuz I lived in it pretty much for 30 years at my job...but that color is gonna not hide well...

I'd like to find some with the long coat, instead of just a jacket. Only time I ever used just my jacket and pants was climbing. Used pants (actually they were bib overalls) and the long coat 75% of the time. You will stay dry, even in a hurricane....trust me, been there done it.. The long coat does have some added "Tailage", but worth it to me.

Thanks so much for all the replies. Backpacker, looking in Gandermtn next time I'm in there...

I always get a Parka style instead of a jacket. I'm long waisted and a jacket style just don't give me good coverage. I also get a Tall model, otherwise the sleeves are too short as well.

I've never purchased a coat from Gander before, just saw some on site. My latest purchase was from Cabelas and I have been well pleased.

I like the old military poncho. Simple, effective, and versatile.

I carry 1 contractor bag and 1 hefty bag in my GHB. It'll make a get by shelter if I need it to.

Yup, if it stupid but works, Its not stupid.

Make the best with what you have, its the out of the box thinking that wins the day.

Remember folks. . .Conventionalism will always lose in guerilla warfare!
