[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2278345, member: 71817"] One year on a hunt out west I found out that my rain resistant outer gear had lost it's rain resistance. My coat felt like it weighed 90 pounds before the day was over. I could see snow accumulating further up but not where I was at. Thank goodness it was only a 1 mile walk to the horses. After hanging my coat near the wood stove to dry out we took a two hour drive to the Walmart in Laramie. At the checkout counter they had a display of el cheapo clear pancho's in a packet 3" by 2" by 1/4" for $1.00. I bought 10 of em. They worked great. Didn't hold up to brush and such but were just the ticket for stand hunting. I still don't like to use a poncho if I'm stalking. I havent found one that didn't make a lot of noise, and I sweat alot when wearing one. In all the years I've hunted I never had to take a shot while wearing a poncho. Goes to show you that if the weather is bad enough that you need a poncho, the game are holed up somewhere anyways. [/QUOTE]
