Rain Gear

[chloe1990]

What type of rain gear does everyone use? I want something good that will last, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg on it.
Thanks

You get what you pay for. I did some trading for my rain/winter suit. It is the Gander Mountain gortex suit, which seems to be the same as the Cabelas/Bass pro ones. They definitely are not cheap. But I’ve fished in 32 degree pouring rain and my hands and feet were the problem. This suit is awesome. I usually wear XL everything and the XL suit is too big. So i have Large jacket and bibs and they fit great. I would look for a used Bass Pro/Cabelas suit. That’s my .02 cents.

My advice is to save your money and buy a good one. There are several really good suits and yes, they do cost a arm and a leg! I have the 100 mph Bass Pro for winter and a light weight "Toads" for summer. Toads is not to be confused with Frog Togs. It is much better. Frog Togs and most of the other cheaper suits work great if it's not raining. JMO!

What size are you? I have a Gill FG suit I could sell you. Worn once. Gill makes good stuff. XXL

+1 on do the right thing and invest in good gear. You'll only be disappointed (and wet) if you don't. I have the BPS 100mph suit. It is superb.

I have two sets, the BPS 100 mph suit, bibs and all. And a Frabill one too. They are both equal, both $$$$$$$ You get what you pay for. When its cold and rainy and your dry, man is that awesome or what. But when your wet and cold......... dude it sucks !

BASS PRO SHOPS PRO QUALIFIER SUIT IS BASICALLY A 100MPH SUIT WITHOUT THE LINER. ITS A CHEAPER AS WELL. IF YOU CAN HOLD OUT UNTIL BLACK FRIDAY, BPS AND CABELAS WILL RUN THEIR SUITS ON SALE.

They are ALWAYS on sale black friday. Best advice right there. Still gonna be more than a normal rain jacket, but these things literally make fishing in the cold/wet enjoyable. It is so nice to be dry and warm at the end of the day.

Thanks beetlespin....I'm a size small. I think XL would look like a bag on me I guess I will shop for deals on Black Friday and see what I can find. Thanks for all the suggestions.
