Good stuff V. Now to put it to good use mate! Do you have any "proper" lightweight waterproof gear? I think the mallard stuff does a good job keeping most of the stuff out from what I've heard, but for serious wet stuff or even just keeping dry when pushing bush, a lightweight packable waterproof jacket and pant will ensure your main hunting garments stay dry. Last thing ya want is having your only set of camos(or whatever) damp for the duration of you packing out..real pita. I found that my rain stuff does the job, although a top that finishes below my waist ( or below my 8==D )would be ideal for water run off as the normal length one allows water through when you bend over etc. A little more length would fix the problem.. that's what she said. just some food for thought mate. Edit: never mind, just seen your other post about the hunters element gear, sorted!
