Bass Pro Rain Gear!

[eyedabassman]

I need a good dry rain gear that is a Bass Pro brand! Looking for spring to fall  to stay dry?  Any help would be appreciated.

100 mph gortex will get the job done.

I prefer the Guidewear from Bass Pro/Cabelas.  Right now you can get 25% off if you are a club member.

I work at BCL part time and I get a good discount.

Is that the Gore Tex?

The 100 MPH suit will keep your drawers dry but may be a bit warm in Spring. I fish a lightweight Frabill suit when it warm.

My go-to rain gear is the couch and TV.

I use the Johnny Morris Guidewear Rainy River Goretex Jacket and pants. They’re packable and not too warm for spring through fall. I fish a lot in the rain and they’ve kept me dry so far.

Did you buy one size bigger?

I've got two of the 100 mph rain suits, one I wear and a back up. Love them. I will say this, they're pretty warm to wear in the summer. I even purchased the cold weather liner for the rain jacket and the gloves.

I have the pro qualifier Gortex. It's a step down from the 100 mph but it's light enough to work into the 60's.  Warmer than that I have the bone dry pants and a Simms jacket.

I had the 100 mph gear and it was good. Living up here in the north, in the cooler months I loved that I could zip in a liner and say nice and warm. I purchased the size that I normally wear and it was a good fit. Big enough that even with a hoodie or a hoodie and the liner in it, it wasn't tight. I'd still probably be wearing it on a regular basis, but managed to get a good deal on the Simms Pro Dry which is pretty much the gold standard.

I'd try another pair of guidewear, but I'll never buy a 100mph suit again. I've had 2, both fell apart at the seams and zippers. Returned the first, they fought me tooth and nail to return a barely year old, $500 suit, with obvious defects. The replacement didn't make it much longer. I still have it but only wear it if I need to be warm and not worried about it raining because I'm going to be wet if it does.

If you intend to use this rain gear in cooler AND warmer summertime conditions, I would highly recommend the uninsulated version.  You will not be able to use it in the summer when its 85 and muggy out during a rain because you'll melt like a snow cone in the desert.

 

Go with the uninsulated version one size bigger, and then layer underneath.  That way you can still use it when its colder out, and in the warmer summer months without the layers underneath.

 

Even the standard uninsulated guidewear is pretty thick.  I used it for about 10 years until the waterproofing simply wore out.  Last March I bought the new version, Guide Wear Lite.  Its even more lightweight than the standard uninsulated version.  Bear in mind I do not do a lot of cold weather fishing, but I fish regularly in the summer time when its raining, so I need something as light as possible, but dry.

For spring and summer, I bought one of the Bass Pro HPR rain jackets.

 

I have a set of Cabelas Guidewear I wear in cooler weather.
