Rain-gear....Whatcha Got?!?

Been doing some asking around locally but now I want ALOT of opinions. Ha!:) I've only ever had cheap rainsuits that was good enough to get me soaking wet if ever caught out on the lake if a cloud came up. I'm looking for something that I know will costs more but hopefully I can keep it around 2 bills, give or take, but I'm wanting something that will keep me dry on a dreary wet day.

So.....what you fellas got that you think is A-OK for your "wet-suit"?:):):)

Here's one that I'm looking at but my mind is in no way made up yet.

Amazon.com

I have Frogg Toggs pilot pro suit bought each piece separate in Amazon warehouse deal, gave $76.00 for bibs, $88.00 for jacket. I bought the puffer liner for rain jacket that snaps in and out for $51. I know they are usually a lot higher but i waited it out for a deal. If your in no hurry warehouse way to go.

I have some Frog Toggs as well as military grade gortex. Both work well.

Which I could find an Wet weather Parka like I had issued in the military. Unfortunately, I can't find one big enough, size 3Xl. when stationed in Korea I took one, and a poncho liner down to a tailor shop hand they used the poncho liner and sewed a liner in the wet weather parka. great for cool damp breezy days...

no really good rain gear is me , when I get wet "enough" for me I quit ....

I've had/used Frog toggs for years. They're cheap and light and do a pretty good job. Of course I've stuck my foot through a few of them or got a stray hook in one or two and tore em up, but at the low cost you just go get another and keep on fishin...

Same for me, NCkenner ... and they can be "patched" (small holes/tears) with Duct Tape on the inside. I've even worn them over my Chiller Killer Snowmobile Suit, just to block the wind when running down the lake in cold weather. Putting them on over heavy/bulky clothing is one reason I buy them a size larger than what I'd normally wear.

Frog toggs.

Between hiking and fishing I’ve ran through enough frog toggs that I could have bought one nice rain jacket haha. Can’t beat ‘em for the price point. Go up a size or two when you buy them so you can layer up under them.

Frog toggs guide wear for me when warmer than 50° Check frog toggs web site they have bogo quite often.
if colder hard to beat Artic Armor :twocents

Butch, if you're interested in a suit/bibs similar to what you shared, Sheels has a deal on floatation suits that are waterproof and similar to that.

Frogg toggs, cheap yet effective once you get over the feeling of wearing a plastic trash bag. For the cost and quality it's worth the change.

My jacket and bibs arrived. I'm very impressed with the quality and design. Since it's got floatation there's no need to worry about a life jacket. It will be too heavy to use year round, but it'll be nice on the water and at 50 mph getting to the next spot in the cool months!

I have a Pilot II jacket & pilot bibs and yeah they work well when you got em with ya but I usually don't. I keep a 30$ combo set vacuum sealed bin the boat. I still say the best set up is a bimini and or an umbrella. IFS agree with Ketchn. Go home and chase the wife around or something. LOL.

I’ve had several and I’ve looked at many more. The link you shared on Amazon is nice but I don’t care for the rollaway hoods, I prefer full time and stay drier. The jacket Kenner posted is way cool but like he says, too heavy for warmer months. My opinion will blow your budget but I feel that a GOOD set will double your budget. I look for zip in liners for the cold, full time hood, longer length to cover my butt and pockets enough for the essentials that don’t scoop water. BPS has some options worth looking at as do others. The higher end stores like REI also have some nice ones. I also have one to buy coming up and I plan on doing it right this time also. I’ve had a sterns that looked great but the zippers leaked and it didn’t breathe. Pants also don’t work for me so it will be bibs next time. Got to have a waist for pants to work and I carry too much weight. Good luck and tell us what you come up with.
