looking to buy a rain jacket, anything you guys like or dislike?
I have great disdain for Frogg Toggs. Been left wet and angry to many times. I also hate spending bunches of money as well. Kinda a catch 22 for me, each time I get wet in a cheap suit I say to myself a $300 suit right now be worth it's weight in gold. Then I dry out and figure I press my luck one more time [emoji23][emoji23] cabela's guide wear, BPS 100 mph suits or artic armor will be the main choices posted by the dryer fishermen that I know of below! I will be following after getting soaked again last weekend... Lol

For a light breathable rain jacket and pants....i have Columbia. For cold weather I have Artic Armor coat and bibs. I like them.
I have a Goretex jacket from REI. It's not cheap, but it's pretty awesome.
BPS hundred mile suit. pricey but I stay very dry. Can have phone in pocket and its dry. I have had mine at least ten years with exultant experience. Well worth the 500 I paid.

Bass pro shop 's "pro qualifier ". Take liner out in warm weather . Extreme cold weather I wear "Game hides 's " hush hide winter wear but it must be below 20 degrees .
Bass Pro dos t make pro qualifier any more. They upgraded their Bone Dry which is a little lighter than 100 mph but also a lot cheaper. I have looked at it a couple of times and seems well made. Might look it up and check reviews. A good Gortex suit of any kind is well worth the money in the long run because if you take care of it it will last forever.
I think frogg toggs came out with a new suite .
Used a military surplus gortex rain jacket for years. It can be hot in warm weather but it is dry
If they have the rain gear I want I get it from REI. The reason I do that is they sell great gear....and if you wear it for up to a year and don’t like it....it leaks...any reason......take it back and get a full refund. I mean you could wear it everyday....bring it back muddy...any condition within that year and they ask no questions. They just give you your money back. I buy all my footwear there and many times after months of wearing some boots...shoes....and I decide I don’t like how they feel....back they go.

I’ve had great luck *so far* out of the Frogg Toggs Pilot Pro rain suit. Got lucky and caught it on sale at Academy for ~50% off. Got both the bibs and the jacket for $160 IIRCQuote:

unfortunately they dont appear to be 50% off anywhere and im not trying to spend $300 on rain gear right now.
I played the “cheap” rain suit game for several years. Tried several different options. None kept me dry and was left with what would have been a good chunk of money wasted that could have been put towards a reliable set of gear. Completely understand the not wanting to spend that much on rain gear though, it was tough for me to swallow as well. Buy once cry once seems pretty fitting here, though.Quote:

I bought me a non insulated set made by carhartt really like it.
I have Bass Pro 100's and Frog Toggs. The former are pretty hot. Hard to beat Frogg Toggs unless it is very cold. IMHO
Check out BassPro, they got hundred bucks off there "100mph" rain gear now.
I really like my SIMMS fishing rain gear
