Super User bilgerat Posted May 14, 2011 Super User Posted May 14, 2011 I just got this set, under $43 with free shipping. It's ridiculously light and fits me well. The material is not as cheesy as it's made out to be, they've upgraded from previous versions. I'm not so sure about walking through heavy brush, but for the kayak they should work fine. Earlier versions had issues with the quality of the zippers, the zippers on mine are nice and heavy. The cut of the bibs is nice, no binding in a seated position. My only beef is the absence of pockets on the jacket and bibs. The breathabilty of the fabric was the main thing for me. Supposed to be windproof also. Rain in the forecast tomorrow, we'll see how they work out. I'll post a follow up. Quote

Super User slonezp Posted May 14, 2011 Super User Posted May 14, 2011 Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did with Frogg Toggs. The ones I had were pants not bibs, and a pullover. They worked fine in light rain but moderate to heavy rain they were worthless. Quote

The set I am wearing now are 9 years old and still keep me dry even after thousands of gallons of rain. Kelley Quote
Sfritr Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I have two sets of them. I love em. They definately are not for severe weather with cold, but spring, fall, and summer they are great. I have played in the snow with them (winter football game) and have never had a rip or hole. That is a great price to get them for. Sometimes at Bps Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted May 14, 2011 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted May 14, 2011 I have two pair. One for work and one for fishing. They are lightweight, cool and keep me dry even in the Florida thunderstorms. I would not buy anything else. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 15, 2011 Global Moderator Posted May 15, 2011 I must have the older version because the zipper on mine suck! They still keep me pretty dry and are very lightweight. I don't mind getting a little damp during the summertime when it's hot anyways. Quote
