Alaska Sept hunt

What rain gear do you guys recommend? Anyone used Sitkas thunderhead jacket and pants?

Everything I have bought recently Kuiu. Seems to be better price and great quality. People are great if you call to discuss. Runs a little small in my opinion so order up size.

I used MTO50 from Cabelas. Dont know if they still have it but it worked great and am still using it. Have fun and good luck.

This! All day long...search the threads here and everywhere else too.

I've spent a lot of time sheep and goat hunting Alaska. Although I've had great luck with Sitka I'm sure Kuiu is just as good or better. You can't go wrong with either! I also do quite a bit of fishing when I'm there. If I'm in a boat in a downpour I prefer Helly Henson...rubberized. I also do quite a bit of fly fishing on my trips. I often use Simms waders plus Marmot Precip jacket. If you don't want to spend a fortune on raingear I would highly recommend Marmot precip jackets and pants. They sell for around $50 each at Sierra Trading. They work just about the same as Sitka at a fraction of the price. Make sure that what ever jacket you buy has pitzips or you will get wet from the inside-out!

My buddy and used Sitka on are sheep hunts. Worked great! It was either raining or snowing everyday. It was the first week of September in the Alaskan mountain range.

Me too for a half dozen or so years.

That is some good gear there.
