Default Rain Gear Advice

Looking for some advice on getting some decent quiet rain gear on a budget. I've been considering the Herter's FowlTech rain jacket from Cabela's or the Redhead Thunderlight Camo rain jacket from Pro Bass. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I have the Storm Tex rain gear from BassPro. It's jacket and pants, and it keeps me dry. Under 100 bucks for the suit. I have to say that bibs would be nicer though.

Good rain gear is like buying gold. I have some packable stuff that's loud but dry enoughto sit a stand but could scare every deer for ten miles if I tried to walk in with it.Would love some cheap but decent insulated gearbut it has to be quiet. I guess thats an oxymoron...

The set I have sucks but I didn't buy the best out there. If your stand hunting one of those umbrella's is the ticket. I do put the pants on while under the thing. Used it in a couple hour rain storm last season and it was very nice. Best $20 you can spend.

I don't understand why someone would buy camo that isn't water "proof"? It's a must!!Why carry extra gear if you don't need to?Just my 2 cents.
