[QUOTE="partisan1911, post: 429341, member: 21115"] I have the rivers west gear and I recommend you avoid it like it is the plague. Even in mist it will soak through and retain water so you will have wet and heavy clothing your entire trip. There is nothing worse than bad gear so I attempted to use thier unconditional warranty blah blah blah claim they stand behind thier product. This is not the case even with reciept. I use the arcteryx lightweight pack gear. It can be crammed down to the size of a soda can for the top and another one for the bottom. It will no kidding keep you dry in a rainstorm. I have used it on several mt goat hunts, moose hunts etc. It has passed the durability test. It is not breathable but then again, I have never found breathable anything to keep you dry from the rain. I have not tried sitka gear but I have heard alot of good things about it. I tend to be skeptical after using the rivers west. Does the sitka gear keep you dry in the rain? If it does get really wet does it dry quickly? [/QUOTE]
