Rain gear

Fished this morning through a 10 minute shower, got wet enough to just be miserable. What rain suits ya’ll wearing?? Looking for quality so as to not waste another trip. Yes, I saw the forecast and went anyway.

Bass pro, pro qualifier is real good. 100 mph about same and more expensive, their new 200 mph more expensive and may or may not be better, cabelas are all good. The better quality frog togg's are ok but not very wind prof or warm to me. Several others out there but most are just way over priced for what they are and how they perform. Most just depends on your budget. One of the better suits will last a lifetime if taken care of.

If ya wanted an alternate option, those 20 dollar tractor supply "crab fisherman" rain suits, as I call them, work really well and ate pretty doggone durable. They're also cheap enough to buy 3 or 4 pair and keep the extras stowed away in the boat. They take up the room of about 30 pages of printer paper in their packaging.

I always keep some of the "better" ($9 vs $5) rain ponchos in my boat. I have too many jackets and such as it is to buy another dedicated rain jacket, and so I go the "cheap, disposable, pvc waterproof and low storage space" route.

Best quality is Cabelas and Bass Pro Qualifier. Like Cray said the upper quality frog togs are good for warmer months. I saw a Carhart Rainsuit in an add that looked really good. They always make great stuff.

Never thought I would pay $500 for a rain suit. I'm on my second set and will buy a third when these wear out.... Cabela's guide wear.

BPS Pro Qualifer for me. Had mine for 5 years and not got wet while wearing it yet.

I wear mine weather it’s raining or not. Fortunately, I can deduct the cost on my taxes.

When you wear any clothing item 200 plus days a year it's bound to wear out after while.
