I have been trying to find the O2 Rain Gear everyone is talking about. I can find the regular yellow set, but there is a sport series (blue) that I cannot find. Anyone know where I can find that at? Thanks!!

I should have added that mine are the Yellow color fabric. The Blue color fabric weighs more.

Do size up.

I hiked with O2 raingear in O3, a VERY wet year. It really got a workout. I was in and out of it Very frequently, sometimes several times in one day. The only problems I had were that I had to take my boots off to get the pants on or off, and it was very prone to rips and tears. If you use the O2 raingear take duct tape as it is an effective patching material. I never worried about hunters mistaking me for a wild turkey or other possible targets. It is very visible and for quite a distance. I only got as far as Duncanon, PA on account of an unfriendly tick, but the raingear was still holding together at that point. I should have taken yellow duct tape. I had mended with grey and blue and whatever, and I looked sort of like a scarecrow.
