Title: lightweight hardshells...
Post by: quarbles on May 06, 2014, 08:04:00 PM
what hardshells are quiet enough to be applicable in the trad realm? i'm specifically looking at the kryptek poseidon or the kuiu chugach nz. the application wouldn't be in torrential downpour but steady rain or high winds when a softshell isn't up to snuff.....
i'd be leaning towards the kuiu but hear that it is rather krinkly.....

KUIU is very good for any type of rain but my opinion its too krinkly for close in bowhunting. With that said its nice to know you got good protection when needed but I always shed the rain gear when stalking in.
