Thanks, I have the pro qualifier and it will keep you dry.I bought it a little bigger so I can layer underneath it in the winter if I decided to wear it when it's cold.I usually just wear my hunting bibs and jacket in cold weather,I have 2 sets of hunting bibs and jacket.

Your going to need some layers under the 100 mph, you won’t on the Cabelas guidewear extreme late season, if you get the heavy ones. Wore them in 16 degrees, 15 mph wind. Nice and toasty.

Depends on what your buying one of these suits for. Remember these are for extreme rain wear.The 100 mph, pro qualifier, cabelas, and any of the other quality Gortex suits are going to be fairly warm milder temps. When it gets as cold as it has been latley your going to have to layer some but not to extreme. Good fleece outfit under them will keep you plenty warm down into upper 30's. After that your going to have to go to heavier layers. Like Redge said the cabelas extreme late season is actually designed as is ArticArmor and some other suits for extreme cold weather.

STRIKER ICE | Predator Jacket 2017

STRIKER ICE | Predator Bibs 2017

I have the striker ice hardwater. Excellent suit and jacket has a zip in liner so it’s handy. Can be used in cool to cold weather. I also have 2 attic armour suits and like them also. Although I prefer the striker ice more, to me it is better designed. Running 52 mph in 22 degree weather for 30 plus minutes, never got cold.

This is the only suit that comes in a big and tall, think i am going to pull the trigger on one before next winter. Do you know if it is water proof like the gore-tex stuff

Yes it’s water proof and wind proof. It will also float you if you accidentally fall in. They are pricey but worth every bit to me. If you’re waiting, try looking at red rock store online. They may have a sale late spring.

I was reading Ice fishing yesterday-- there was a link to Columbia -- their line of winter clothing is 100% waterproof with a lifetime Warranty including footwear... they are having a better than good sale now .... I just found that my warm hunting boots soles smelled like an old truck tire no matter if they were sprayed with scent killer. If there was two pennies to rub together I would have some boots ordered for my frozen toes
