Quiet Rain Gear?

[wideflange]

Anyone have a go-to set of quiet rain gear? Most that I have tried sound like I'm wrapped in aluminum foil while hunting...
Thanks

The Sitka Thunderhead is probably going to be the quietest of what I have used.

Where are you hunting? I carry an Anyoo multi-cam tarp/poncho that's not exactly mylar, but not Sitka either. But rain deadens a lot of sounds, and I hardly ever have it on longer than 20-40mins. It just doesn't rain that long where I go (Colorado). By the time I need something more serious it's usually snow season (and a different answer...)

I’ve never been so impressed with rain gear as I am my Mt050 Gore-Tex gear from Cabela’s. Spent 11hrs in heavy rains with my hood up last year on opening day of rifle here in PA & I was bone dry. Its exterior is a fleece of some sort & its dead silent.

I've got sitka cloudburst. Picked it up really cheap. But even after my trip to alaska haven't had a need to try it yet.

I just carry the Cabela’s Space Rain jacket and pants for those usually fast passing downpours in Colorado. Keeps me dry and light to carry.

Core4element Torrent is a good one, too bad they are no longer in business.
Have had a jacket and pants for years and they still work great and are pretty quiet.

I totally agree I have the mt050 winter jacket from Cabela’s it is totally silent. I bought the Sitka downpour for Colorado this year. I didn’t have to use it . But I can tell you it’s like wearing plastic bags it’s that loud

What did you end up going with @wideflange ?

^^ AGREE ^^

My Cabela's MTo50 Gore-Tex is probably 15 years old...it's awesome! You can still find some on e-bay/craigslist/rockslide used.

I wear it a lot while deer and turkey hunting. It's a great quiet later to block wind. When it's cold, I throw on base layer, insulation layer, Kuiu guid jacket, then the MTo50. Keeps me toasty warm.

Very quiet as well.

Since this thread has come up again, the Thunderhead is the quietest rain gear that I have ever used.
