    I do have camo rain gear as well... as for walking to the stand with an umbrella... that's funny! i'd piss myself if i saw a hunter walking out to his stand that way.. :)

    Of course i'm picturing a hunter with a brightly colored umbrella sneaking thru the woods.. HAHAHa

    I bought one a couple years ago and it broke the first time i used it, probably because i bought the cheaper one. Have not replaced it yet but there have been times i wish i had one.

    In high winds they're about worthless. I've had mine flip up on me a few times. As I've gotten old I think I've gotten smarter and if it's rainy AND windy I'll either stay home or hit the ground blind. Being wet and cold in a tree is no longer my idea of fun.

    I've sat under mine during heavy rains... then once the rain stopped had three bucks all walk with in 5-25 yards of my stand without being bothered by the "blob". All three were younger so given the pass...

    I am going to have to look into getting me one. I wear rain gear, but it doesn't protect my equipment.

    I have one as well and use it when I need to. I have had it spook deer when it's windy but other than that it's great to have.

    Had my bro pick one up for me a couples weeks ago. I'll be packing it in the truck tonight for the trip to IL. tomorrow. I don't have any rain gear at all. Million Dollar Question : Will this thing keep me good and dry or should I still stop at Gander and pick up some rain gear????

    have had one for a number of years and they make a difference. But it won't keep you 100% covered just a majority of rain,wind and snow. It's never bothered the deer.
