Bass pro, pro qualifier is real good. 100 mph about same and more expensive, their new 200 mph more expensive and may or may not be better, cabelas are all good. The better quality frog togg's are ok but not very wind prof or warm to me. Several others out there but most are just way over priced for what they are and how they perform. Most just depends on your budget. One of the better suits will last a lifetime if taken care of.
If ya wanted an alternate option, those 20 dollar tractor supply "crab fisherman" rain suits, as I call them, work really well and ate pretty doggone durable. They're also cheap enough to buy 3 or 4 pair and keep the extras stowed away in the boat. They take up the room of about 30 pages of printer paper in their packaging.
I always keep some of the "better" ($9 vs $5) rain ponchos in my boat. I have too many jackets and such as it is to buy another dedicated rain jacket, and so I go the "cheap, disposable, pvc waterproof and low storage space" route.
Best quality is Cabelas and Bass Pro Qualifier. Like Cray said the upper quality frog togs are good for warmer months. I saw a Carhart Rainsuit in an add that looked really good. They always make great stuff.

Never thought I would pay $500 for a rain suit. I'm on my second set and will buy a third when these wear out.... Cabela's guide wear.
BPS Pro Qualifer for me. Had mine for 5 years and not got wet while wearing it yet.
Dang. $500 they shouldn't wear out.Quote:

When you wear any clothing item 200 plus days a year it's bound to wear out after while.Quote:

Cabelas guide wear here. I love the weight and feel of the frogg toggs but they will leak at the seams if you are sitting down in a long rain. Pretty good if standing-no pressure on the seams. I use the togs for short shower forcasts in warm weather
Like my 100mph BPS. I’ve been rained on for 7 hours on the lake, only spot that was damp was where I had my elbows resting on my legs, like it pushed in through the fabric. If the rain can run off of the fabric and doesn’t puddle up in your lap it’s awesome. Want to spray it with water repellent as well like used on tents, but have not gotten to that yet.

I wear waders and frog togg jacket. In a couple more weeks I will be wearing swimming trunks and topless. Fish love it.
I have a Walmart pants and jacket, cost less than 30 bucks, the best I can remember, I know I’ve had it over 5 years, used them many times and never got wet, rained so hard last spring my bilge pump wouldn’t keep the water pumped out, and I stayed dry. All that extra money payed for those fancy name brands, will buy a lot of gasoline for fishing. But to each his own.

Yea I paid about that much for the frog toggs. They are very breathable. Got them at Walmart also. Iam a weekend fisherman and don't go when it rains. Just use them when the occasional rain kicks up.
