I agree you get what you pay for! But remember that if your body is dry and your feet are wet its still a miserable day!

Well there you go!

Since you looked at the Gore-Tex, I figure you aren't looking for just a rain suit, but insulated rainwear.

If you just want to stay dry, any rainsuit will do (just about), but if you want that same suit to keep you warm in blowing rain on cold days, you need to consider that you get what you pay for. So you can layer properly and still have poor rain protection and end up wet, cold or both. Also, do you want to buy the suit again every year or so?

I have three suits. One for summer that is made by Columbia. It consists of a yellow and black jacket and black pants. I have a green and black suit for weather just bit more extreme that is jacket and pants, and I have the Gore Tex wetlands camo jacket and bibbed overalls. I figure that the camo is better because you can still use it for fishing, but also for hunting where as a bright color or solid color will not fare will with geese or ducks.
