Anyone have a suggestion on some camo rain gear (preferably mossy oak) that I can fit in the back of my vest? Something light weight. I usually don't try to hunt in a monsoon but I've gotten caught in some. I've always just carried a cheap poncho but it doesn't quite fit well in my vest. Just looking to go as light and efffective as possible. What do you use?
Sil-nylon woodland camo rain poncho is my "get back to truck" choice.

I like the frogg togg set and that is what I own. However, I've heard awesome things about the space rain suit that cabelas makes and I know that it packs into a small carrying pouch that fits easily into your vest. It's extremely light weight from what I can tell. I'd give it a look if I was doing it over again

I bought a suit from midway that I like. It's lightweight and comes with a stuff sack.

I bought a set from Cabelas that came packed into its own little pocket, and as advertised fit in the vest perfectly. Until I had to unpack it one rainy day. Worked perfectly too.
Now, I wish someone could show me how to pack that jacket and pants back into their little pockets again. :z-dizzy:
I have cabelas space rain, good stuff just don't go brush busting with it!!!

The Cabelas MT050 is hard to beat IMO, packs into it's own pocket and can take a beating. I have a pair of Scent Blocker rain pants I got cheap after Christmas so I have a full set, I'll see how they do in a down pour. I only put mine on when it starts raining as it doesn't take up alot of space in my vest.

I'll add another vote as well. It kept my Dad and I dry in rain/snow mix last turkey season.
Frogg toggs or just a poncho suites all my needs.

This gets my vote. Used mine in Nebraska last year. Loved em!
The Allen brand camo PVC poncho is cheap, very light, disposable & pocket size. They have kept me dry on more than one occasion. I think I have seen them in Mossy Oak & Realtree.
50 gallon trashbag
Cabelas space rain suite also gets my vote, packs into its own small pouches. Keeps me dry on raining days in Illinois and did great last year for me out in Kansas in the rain. Fits great and is very quiet.
I have used Frog Toggs in the past... I consider it "disposable rain gear."
You can usually find it cheap enough, and if the zippers work and it is not torn, it will keep you reasonably dry, but it does NOT hold up at all...
Increasingly my opinion on rain gear is that the cheaper stuff will keep you dryer than nothing, moderate priced stuff will keep you somewhat dry, and the good/expensive stuff will keep you comfortably dry during a good precipitation event...
As a duck hunter, I am using quality gear... If I were only turkey hunting, I would be apprehensive about such a purchase.
I plan on buying that cabelas set to keep in the truck in case it starts raining while I'm out. I got an umbrella that attaches to a tree as well.
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I have a friend with a job at cabelas so I believe I will see if I can't borrow his discount and get that? Will definitely check it out

Midwayusa bear lake rain coat is great!
A lightweight, camo poncho is my preference. I can throw it on over my vest and keep my shotgun covered. Everything stays dry instead of just my body.
