What is the best rain gear out there.
Huk, Bass Pro or Cabelas. Going to pull trigger on a new set. They will have to be able to with stand all day rain. Not a misty rain. My Frogg Toggs aren't working.

I like the Cabelos Guide Gear
I have the same problem with frog toggs. I need some new gear but can't decide which to buy. Lot of money involved.

Price don't matter long as a person stays dry. I think I got the Toadz. I will check out the other line.
I have bass pro 100 mph and have no complaints. They usually put them on sale this time off year.

Pro quilifier from BP for me, my tournament partner, and our sister team.
100% goretex and it will keep you dry. Was not a fan of how the 100mph suit fit.
Don't skimp on rain gear. Get the best you can afford. If it doesn't say goretex, it will usually get wet in time.
One option: go to a military surplus store. We all wore goretex and it pops up from time to time

H2O-xpress is Academy Sports and Outdoors brand of fishinh outerwear. I love my set, and wear it year round. Great wind breaker also. Neoprene cuffs, multiple pockets, and double zippers.

I have the Frogg Toggs Toad Skinz and they are dry but if you sit its all over with. I have been looking at these for some time https://www.wingsupply.com/hunting-c...g/frabill.html
Frabill is a good brand as well I'm looking at the I3 series, Ice fishing insulated, wind and water proof. the F series is just rain suit rated 1-5
Bass Pro Qualifer
I've got the frog Togg Toadz and the Frogg Togg Pilot Guide, bibs and jacket in both. I bought a set of Cabelas Guide Wear last winter and there is no comparison. I have never been drier. Between now and January, they will normally put it on sale as was said above about BP. I'm sure BP suits are just as good.
I have been using Huk from Bass Pro all year now and impressed with it. No leakage, lightweight, maneuverability while wearing it. Adequate coverage and wind proof. Get a size larger to wear layers underneath and your toasty warm. I have to keep the hearing aids dry, so far so good.
anything that fits you that is actually gortex.
regardless of all the other marketing hype, if it isn't gortex, it isn't rainproof.
suck it up and be ready to pull out your wallet. otherwise, if you really fish in all day rains, you are going to be disappointed. Bass Pro 100 MPH is simply the best, but, it is not the most comfortable - but only you can decide whether you want to be bone dry, or wet and comfortable. Just saying.....
I am lucky enough to have an Under Armour outlet about 45 minutes from my house....I was able to get summer rain pants and jacket and a full fishing suit for half off. Both are comfortable and no noise, and completely water proof.
BPS 100MPH For five years and very happy.
Warning!! Avoid Frabil at all costs.
I bought 2 sets (bibs and jacket) of the Surge 2 from Wing Supply last spring. They had them on close out at ridiculous prices. Shortly after buying them, one of the jacket zippers broke. I contacted Frabil since the gear had 2 year replacement warranty. I jumped thru all their hoops, sent receipts, pics, filled out forms, then sent the jacket to them as instructed. 5 months later I realize they hadn't sent my replacement.
I call Frabil and they have no records of my warranty claim, no jacket, and by the way, they no longer make rain gear. I contacted Wing Supply about it. They asked for proof of my warranty claim to Frabil and the proof of shipping, which I had.They had the proof of my purchases since I bought it from them. A few days later Wing Supply contacted me and said they were getting the same BS run-around from Frabil as I was. Wing Supply then said they would replace the jacket themselves but since they had sold out of my color and size in the Surge 2, they would replace it with Surge 3, which was about $40 higher. I told them I'd be glad to pay the difference but they wouldn't let me.
SOOOOO, Kudos to Wing Supply and stay away from Frabil. BTW, I love the Surge 2 and 3 gear.
Simms
Cabelas guide wear are as good as any
That and flipflops!!!!!! Thought you would freeze but the cold never seemed to phase ya!!!!!:RoflQuote:

Another option is Columbia, have owned this jacket with matching pants for 5 yrs. now & has never let me down. Can get rain by the buckets here in Florida during the rainy season & most important can be worn year round. Light weight & can add Thinsulate clothing underneath for colder months, with no bulk. Don't think it's the "best", but simply work's.
Most are not going to pay what Simms cost.....but you are correct.......there is nothing better.....and I’ve tried a lot of them.Quote:

Both Gill and Grundens are the best I've ever seen but they're prohibitively expensive unless you catch them on clearance. Every once in a while I'll see a set of Grundens bibs for $100 but you have to look for them. I'm cheap so I went the Army surplus GoreTex route and have had the same woodland camo set for probably 15 years.
They are both great brands....but they don’t approach the price of Simms......you want to talk prohibitively expensive......pants and jacket from Simms is a thousand bucks.....LOL.Quote:

Years ago I bought a rain suit from Memphis Net & Twine or something like that, it's a commercial fishing supply, and it the best I ever had. It was a little heavy, but it was great. Someone else liked it too....they stole it out of my boat ...:bash
Everyone is going to come up with a different brand but here is some good info for keeping Gore-Tex.....or other rain gear in good shape. Gore-Tex does not go bad......but the outer fabric on the membrane can and will lose the water repellency. I have used the items in the article with great success but there are others on market also.

I have Frogg Toggs, however I wish I would have gotten bib pants. Otherwise they work great.
I bought a pair of Gander Mountain Guide Wear bibs during their going out of business sale. I also bought a Columbia dual purpose jacket. Jacket has a fleece liner that zips out. The combo gives me great three season coverage. The Frogg Toggs got moved to a storage locker in the boat for those unexpected rains. The rain suit (Gander bibs and Columbia jacket) come out for days where rain is forecast for most of the day.
I were a wide brimmed hat to keep the rain off the back of my neck and off my glasses. As for my feet, if its warm enough (rubber sandals) cold (water proof hunting boots).

Probably Helly Henson, Pvc coated. Forestry Supply out of Mississippi sells them. I've had a pair for 15 years. Tough and 100Quote:

Another for Simms...worth every penny. And I purposely fish in the rain.

Thanks for everyones input. I have seen bps 100 suits leak twice. I'll just due more homework. I would rather spend extra money for something that will not leak. Since I'm on my 2nd set of rain gear.
Cabelas has a sale going right now on their Gortex clothing.
