How good is Kryptek for rain gear in Alaska ? I have had problems with goretex in the past.

I don't own any Kryptek anything other than a hat.

I have tons of experience with Schoeller fabric, and that is what the high end line of mountain gear from Kryptek is supposed to be made out of.

I would recommend that you do some research on the fabric, and then inspect the items you intend to buy for build quality (taped seams, stitching and so on).

Schoeller, Gore-Tex, and Toray are expensive fabrics and each one may not be the solution for a Kodiak island goat hunt if the weather is vertical for a week.

The Alaska solution has always been commercial rain gear like Helly Hansen or Grundens (or a better brand). But this is hot, doesn't breath and is cold and clammy. But it will be waterproof.

I have lived in Barrow, Anchorage, Fairbanks and Sitka. I feel that every inch of Alaska requires different gear than 10 miles away does.

Thanks for the replies. On the last brown bear hunt I used Helly Hanson bibs, etc, it worked great of course except unwieldy to put on and take off with boots and rain coming and going. Kryptek has the full length leg zippers which appear to be easy to use in the field.

Most commercial fishermen on the Bering sea use Grunden. And they work their asses off. If there was a better alternative, they would use it.
