Brian6428 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Hey guys, I am looking to get some rain gear soon. Eventually I will get both pants and a jacket but for now i will just get a jacket. Do you guys have any suggestions? I don't want to spend too much but I want to get something good that will last for a while. Thanks! Brian Quote
ColdSVT Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I have the BPS 100MPH gear. Love it!...keeps everything but my fingers dry However it is a hair loud with the hood up...not bad though Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted June 23, 2014 Super User Posted June 23, 2014 Haven't purchased them yet, but I've been looking at Frogg Toggs. They make rain gear for fishing, hunting etc. Quote
Brian6428 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 I have the BPS 100MPH gear. Love it!...keeps everything but my fingers dry However it is a hair loud with the hood up...not bad though I saw that and it looks great, but is it too warm to wear during a summer rain? I could always layer up underneath a thinner jacket when it is cold. Quote
Traveler2586 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I have a Frogg Toggs warm weather suite. It's OK,,,, It wicks water while seated though. And you have to refresh the water-proofing from time to time. I also have the Cabela's GORE-TEX® Guidewear. This is by far the best rain gear I've ever used, I've never doubted the suites ability to protect me year around. All I've had to do for maintenance is to wipe it down with a damp cloth. Don't cut corners on fowl weather gear, it could save your life. Quote
J_Mike8098 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Frogg Toggs. They make great products that are comfortable and affordable. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted June 23, 2014 Super User Posted June 23, 2014 Another vote for frogg toggs. Lightweight and they get the job done. Quote

No its not too warm with the insulated liner removed...with the liner in its toasty in the colder weather 1 Quote
Dave P Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Frogg Toggs X2 wont wear anything else in the summer Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 Frogg Toggs in summer, Guidewear in spring & fall. Quote
FrogFreak Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Yet another vote for Frogg Toggs. Cheap, packs easy and works. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 I use Frog Toggs from WalMart. Work great and it's cheap! Quote
deadadrift89 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Yet another vote for Frogg Toggs. Cheap, packs easy and works. My pick also for warm weather Quote
slimshad Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Frogg Toggs for me too. Have my Ranger Boat suit on in my profile pic! For the price, you can't beat them. I have had two suits in 10 years. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 I've got the BPS 100 MPH stuff and I don't know that it's beatable. Haven't worn it in anything super warm, but I've worn it in the mid to upper 70's but at that temp you aren't roasting. Keeps you warm on the cold days though. I've fished in a few downpours this year with it as well as all day soaking rains and and it has kept me completely dry. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 Columbia rain gear for summer and Arctic Armour bibs for winter with a Columbia interchange jacket. Also have regular Carhardt bibs for winter weather with no rain. Jeff Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted June 25, 2014 Super User Posted June 25, 2014 Cabela's Guidewear for cooler temps (spring & Fall) and Guidewear Bass Angler in the summer. Quote
Brian6428 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks for the replies, guys! I will do some research on all the options you guys gave me. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 25, 2014 Global Moderator Posted June 25, 2014 BPS 100mph suit is what I wear most of the time but the Frogg Toggs are great when it's really hot and humid out. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted June 25, 2014 Super User Posted June 25, 2014 Frogg Toggs. Go figure, I haven't had to use them since I bought them. Which is shocking with the amount of rain we've had down here lately. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted June 25, 2014 Super User Posted June 25, 2014 Columbia rain gear for summer and Arctic Armour bibs for winter with a Columbia interchange jacket. Also have regular Carhardt bibs for winter weather with no rain. Jeff This looks like guide wear to me. 1 Quote
