If I'm expecting rain, I'll pack my army poncho. But if I get caught out in it, I'll just tough it out. Freezers bags for the wallet, and calls. But I've been meaning to go get an ID at the DMV, and all I'll have to carry is that and a hunting license, and leave the wallet in the truck. Cause I'm paranoid I'll lose my wallet in the woods, did it once, never want to go through that again!

I have the Cabela's Rain Suede Dry Plus.  I've only needed it a couple of times and that was back in New England, never in New Mexico. It kept me warm, dry, and importantly, it is quiet.

Cabelas MT050 rain suit.

Where you hunt will depend on how much you need a rain suit. When in Texas, I usually just bring a water resistant jacket I use during bow season. The chances of me getting poured on are very slim. I can deal with damp legs and a slight drizzle will evaporate quickly after the rain stops.

On the other hand, I purchased a rain suit just before hunting in South Dakota several years ago. It rained pretty hard on and off 75% of the trip and the temperature was not that much above freezing. I would have been completely miserable and risked hypothermia without a good rain suit. I could have sold my rain suit for double what I paid for it to my buddy that didn't bring his.

Either way buy high quality and one that doesn't sound like a potato chip bag when you move around. Also I suggest the bibs over the pants because they protect a little better from rain sneaking between your jacket and pants.
