I have the Bass Pro 100 Mph. Had it about 4 years. No complaints yet.
If it doesn't get too cold where or when you fish, Frogg Toggs!
I got the cabelas rain suede (jacket and bibs) on sale 2 or 3 years ago for early season wet bow hunts. Very effective and quiet in the stand and just found out over the last 2 days works great for fishing as well. May have to wash some of the slime off before I try to go in the woods.Cabela's Online Store - Quality Hunting, Fishing, Camping and Outdoor Gear
I have the BPS Pro Qualifier. As far as I can tell they are the same as the 100MPH just with less pockets.
I purchased mine at BPS--their brand. Love them and didn't cost me a second mortgage!
Pro qualifier. Every bit as good as 100 mph and a lot cheaper.
I also wear BPS 100 MPH. If you going to invest in a good rain suit be sure it has Gore tex.

I've got the Cabela's Guidewear. Bought it on sale at the end of the season for about half regular price. It's the best rain suit I've ever had! Warm and dry.
I have the H2O Xpress jacket and bibs from Academy Sports and Outdoors.
They are of great quality, very comfortable, and do wear very well. I wear the bibs during the winter with sweatpants and/or under armour depending on how cold it is.
The jacket has neoprene cuffs, Velcro closures, double zippers, half face in the hood, and draw string closure in the hood. Each piece has multiple pockets.

Also the Pro Qualifier bibs have leg openings to the hip and a front zipper that can be opened from the bottom.

Question on the BPS Pro Qualifiers, hope you don't mind Tman. I've been looking at getting the parka and bibs, I normally wear a 3XL Tall. That is the biggest size they offer, I was hoping to have room to layer underneath and still have a little room, was thinking a 4XL. Do they fit a little bigger or would a 3XL be to snug to put layers on underneath comfortably?Quote:

Money wasn't an issue for me so I tried them all. I didn't like the fit of the Cabelas brand Gore Tex, and the 100mph I didn't like either. I purchased the Pro Qualifier because it fit the best based on what I like. Since that time I've sold 3 other friends and family on that suit. I've fished it down to 28 degrees and 6 hours of pouring rain. I've taken a 7 foot rouge wave over the back of the boat that hit me hip high and remained dry. All of my testing has been done in extreme great lakes walleye tournament fishing.
Only negative is the cuffs! Many complaints and I don't like them either. They are much to tight and not needed. I took mine to a seamstress for removal. These are interior cuffs, not the exterior gore tex.
I have the pro qualifier from basspro,it will keep you dry

Im thinking the Frogg Toggs would be all thats needed for here in Florida.
Hardly ever rains all day, and never really gets very cold, at least where I live.
An old sweat suit pants and sweat shirt and a space blanket in the emergency kit is probably a good idea.
Most important here is extra drinking water.
I have 2 sets this time of the year I have a set of Huk. they are great about keeping the weather out with me layering up as needed. I have some set that I can't remember there name that floats and and insulated and are very warm in the cold rainy elements that winter put on us

Ordered some Carhartt Shoreline Edition Bibs and Jacket, got them for a whopping $111.00 (total) shipped on clearance, thanks Cray for the help! Quality too be seen next week when I get em', but most the Carhartt stuff I own is very good.
I have the frogg toggs and have been happy.
I fished two seasons out the frogg toggs from Walmart. Now I use an umbrella with a water repellent jacket.

Snubby, I wanted to bump this back to the top. How have you liked your Carhartt’s? I’m finally going to break down and spend the money on a good set I guess, and I’ve looked at the Carhartt as an option. Their new Angler series looks good too.

Are you referring to Stryker Climate. I wear these bibs with a frogg togg pilot jacket. Most of the rainy weather I push or pull jigs so I also sit under an umbrella. I have put the Bibbs through some pretty extreme temps but not a lot of rain. I would say it lowered my comfort range by 15 degrees. The Climate has removable insulation so I plan on using them through the spring.Quote:

Ha , I do not fish in the rain or cold . But I do have a cheap rain suit frog toggs.RR
I’m really thinking hard on the new Carhartt Angler stuff. I’m between it and the Bass Pro (either pro qualifier or 100 mph) stuff. I know the bass pro stuff is Gore Tex, but could save over $100 with the Carhartt. Such a tough decision.

Well I thought they would be fine for here in Florida, so I sent for the more expensive set they refer to as some kind of skins.Quote:

I think trying these things on first is very important as a result of this experience.
I only need and want rain protection, not warmth, and as a rule we don't have long periods of rain here, like all day.
I ended up at BPS and buying a set of Columbia brand.
