Rain Suit

I think I want to buy the Frogg Toggs Pro-angler rain suit. Do the
FroggToggs perform as advertised? The lowest price I can find is $66.95 at
EEZHOOK for the Large size plus $7.95 for the stuff bag and $5.95 shipping.
Does anybody offer it for less? Thanks
Craig

I was doubtful too about buying the FT's, but I have not gotten wet yet in
the two years that I've had them! My first true test was fishing Center Hill
with Warren in a blinding rainstorm. Of course, his 70mph driving wasn't
helping the situation, but everywhere I was covered with the FT's, I was
dry.

I loved mine for about a year, then I ripped the pants putting them on and the
parker started leaking like a screen. Maybe I was too rough on them, but I
won't buy any more. I bought a set of Cabelas guidewear and love it. Fished
for 8 hours in the rain last Sunday and the only thing that got wet was my
hands.

How breathable are they? How do they compare to Gore-Tex? I've been
watching those commercials too.

I'd go with the Guide Wear also, have had mine for 8 years now, many 4 day
continuous rain fishing trips to SE Alaska, and winter steelhead and
sturgeon trips from the bank or boat, have never been wet with them on. No
problems whatsoeveer except the drawstring for the hood just loves to get
fuzzed up and stick to the velcro weather strip used the protect the zipper
from water.

I had the Frogg Toggs, (something else Sean inherited), and then I bought
the Bass Pro Gore-Tex, (same as Cabela's Guide Wear). I've never been sorry
for changing. Frogg Togg's won't keep you warm on those cold,wet mornings.

Frogg Toggs?.....Get some TYVEK house wrap and have Mom make you some with
the ole' Singer. Use only Gortex or other quality waterproof/breathable
material. said Huck

They're suppose to be breatheable... but I've never tried Gore-Tex to make
any comments on them.

I don't purposely fish in the rain, so anything more costly than the Frogg's
is a little much. It's the times that I'm out and a good rain sneaks in on
me is what I bought mine for.

So far, no complaints!

If it is not in your consideration of features, buy the bib style pants for
more assurance of staying dry, especially if you are operating a boat,
60mph, or in a stiff wind and do not have enough hands to keep the jacket
secured well enough.

I will add my evaluation of value for the upper-end of the BPS rain suit
with bibs. I have had no problem with two sets we use in our family.
Another place that sometimes has value products is www.rei.com. It is a
coop, joining will get you ~10% payback on purchases within a year period.
Their Goretex parkas are especially good and give good warmth.

Still use the FT suit( I personally feel it`s the greatest for warm summer
rains) it will keep ya dry. but it will not keep ya warm....that's why I
have 2 suits pending weather... nothing worst than sweating until the
"Chafing Gods" take over inside the plastic rain wear........
