This weekend I had a very harrowing life or death experience backpacking through very thickly overgrown trail in 35 degree rain for over 10 miles of extreme up and down ruggedness of the Eastern Superstition Wilderness. I had a "rain repellent" jacket from Wally World and Dickies on and nearly killed myself because of this (hypothermia was starting to set in on me the last 3 miles to the TH). Basically I'm looking for recommendations on gear that is repellent even when pushing through thickly overgrown brush such as manzanita. Even the people in our group with better rain gear were completely soaked because of the strong brush pushing the water into our gear. I was looking at the Cabella's rain gear and I would imagine that since hunters don't always stay on trail to track down game this stuff might be the way to go but never found and specific reviews stating how good it was in the most extreme backcountry situations.
