I'm considering the purchase of some insulated rain gear (parka and bib
pants), especially after fishing Allatoona in the rain and cold yesterday.
However, I want it in camo so that I can use it for hunting as well.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Shelby Foles,


Not sure how nasty of weather you get into, but I have had pretty good luck
using my Frogg Toggs much the way Steve uses his gear. Since I live in the
desert I don't see the rain he sees or have his experience in that type of
element, but layering works. On a tournament on Alamo lake once it was
snowing while we were doing signup. As soon as we hit the water it changed
to cold driving rain with wind gusts to 30 or 40 MPH. My rain gear over my
Ridgeline jacket over a flannel shirt did the trick. When it cleared up
enough so I could see it was apparent why it was so cold. There was snow
all over the surrounding mountains where the wind was coming over. My hands
were cold, and my face took a beating because the pattern we were on seemed
to be to cast into the teeth of the storm and work back towards the boat,
but I was mainly warm and dry. I've since picked up a set of neoprene
gloves for those cold wet days. Now if they just made a nice personal face
shield with windshield wipers. LOL.

P.S. We caught a lot of fish that day.

I lost that set of Frogg Toggs on a motorcycle trip, and tried a couple
different cheaper rain suits since. The good part of that is I live in the
desert and do not have to fish or ride in the rain that often. I just
bought a new set of Frogg Toggs a couple weeks ago.
