if you can wait until early January, all the high end clothing manufacturer's will be at the Dallas safari club show. You can try on whatever you want there, and if you are there Sunday, they will make good deals before they leave.

I can't help with your choice of rain gear. I use WFS, I have had the pants and jacket for many years it's breathable and quiet. I Googled it and I could not find it but it has worked very well for me for a long time.
I will add that If you get out on a hunt without an armguard you can cut the toe end out of a spare sock for a make shift armguard.
I hope you have better luck on your next hunt

The good rain gear is expensive and I like it loose enough so that I can layer underneath depending on the temperature/conditions.

They are great in a pinch to keep garmets tight.Originally posted by caughtandhobble View PostI can't help with your choice of rain gear.

Also perhaps learn to shoot with a slighty more open stance if your current stance is very closed. I find that more often than not, out in the field, that a more open stance is achievable than a closed stance.

to answer OP's question
I have both brands in Rain Jackets....Sitka has been the better brand from my experience in buying both, the Fanatic and Downpour Jackets are amazing...ive had both for a couple years and I sold my whole Kuiu set besides the rain jacket for a backup......Sitka, I got rained on for 3 hours straight on a hunt last month and was seriously warm and comfortable...the fanatic series is better than anything on the market clothing wise...buy once cry once

I needed a better set of rain gear, regardless of the string clearance issue, but that sure made a good excuse to buy something!

I have no issue with forearm clearance.
