Rain Shell Suggestions, LEAF equivalent

[brutus1776]

I’ve ran an Arcteryx Leaf Alpha LT since 2012. I warrantied it in 2019 and walked away with a Gen 2. It has recently been stolen. Much to my surprise LEAF is now restricted to active duty. I prefer to not have this shell in an alpine bright color, as I want to use it hunting.

What brands / models do I need to look for an equivalent jacket? 3 layer goretex type in earth tone colors. Quality / LEAF type equivalents, no frog togs, etc. Thanks!!

Maybe Wild Things Gear or Otte?

I’ve been happy with my Kuiu, but i don’t know how it compares with the Arctrex LEAF. I also have a set of black Arctrex alpha rain pants that have been excellent.

Norrona is a euro brand with similar styling, pricing, and technical fabrics as Arcteryx.

Not sure if they have earth tones though.

Sitka Dew Point and it’s on sale

Virtually everything in the LEAF line has a normal-line equivalent, sometimes with minor changes and no camo.

Check out Forloh.
US made.

Im impressed with the soft shell stuff I have.
Do not own their hard shell gear.
Based on my experience, would buy it if I was in need of a 3 layer set though

Beyond clothing, wild things, triple aught to name a few.

I picked up a Forloh soft shell and it is very well made and fits nicely. Looks high quality, will see as I put it through the paces during elk season, etc. Sign up for SMS and they give 20% off of first purchase!
