Frogg Togg's?

[eyedabassman]

I did see the post on rain gear. I was thinking of buying some frogg toggs. I guide at alot and I want extra rain gear for my guide trips. What do you boys think of the Frog Toggs? I don't want to spend a ton of money but I want something that will keep my people dry!  Thanks

For the money they are fine - better for warmer weather but a good backup for sure.

YOU should buy Cabela's Guidewear.

For clients, cheap Wal Mart specials.

i think frogg toggs would be perfect for that application...an extra set for the people you guide.  they have a cheap set and an even cheaper set..something like 30 and 15 bucks that both work.  i wear the cheaper set all the time.  they are super light and packable.

Agreed, Frogg Toggs are pretty decent for warmer weather and double as a nice wind breaker.

I would recommend getting the bibs instead of the pants.  I've heard from several people for whatever reason the pants are more prone to ripping along the seams.  I've owned a pair of the bibs for 3 years and they still are holding up fine though they are showing some wear.  I picked them up at BPS for about $30.

Cold weather stuff - I like the BPS Pro Qualifier bibs & jacket, much more expensive but worth it in my book.

The bibs will also not allow the water to run off the jacket and down the back of your pants.

For clients that forgot or don't have rain gear they are better than nothing. Should get you a good tip too....

If you have a Sam's Club near you, they have the Natural Gear Ultra Rain Suit that is the same material and about 1/2 price of the Frogg Toggs. They only have the jacket and regular pants, I didn't see any sets with bibs. I got a couple of sets for guests.

With that material it is better to get a size larger to lessen the seam stress whether you get bibs or pants.

I really don't like Frogg Toggs. They feel like a big sheet of paper on you. Both my dad's pair and mine have leaked. Also make sure not to get the pant version.

I bought a couple of pairs to keep on the boat.  Zipper broke on one the first time I used it.  The pants seat leaks on the other.  I got them both for $20, but they should have been $5.
