Has anyone here seen and touched these? I have the Stormfront stuff but it's so ridiculously loud I peeled it off in a steady rain. I'm wondering if SG addressed and corrected the issue or just relabeled em. I hunt year round and find myself seeing vast changes in weather (open country spot & stalk out west) and am looking for a winter option that'll keep me dry when the skies open up on me. Sometimes in AZ and NV it'll be sunny one minutes, then a wind and within an hour you're in a downpour that requires careful navigation so you don't get caught in a flashflood. Is the Cloudburst the answer?
