Jen Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 if you dont mind me asking where did you guys get yours? I got mine as a gift! However they came from Fishmasters Bait and Tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 BPS 100 mph, here. Not only is it Goretex, but it is also tough. Definitely go for the bibs rather than pants. It has a very high collar, and neoprene cuffs, and is bulletproof. As Wayne says, the only downside apart from price is all the BPS gingerbread stuck all over the place. BPS should pay me for the advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschirk Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I bought my Shimano Gortex Rain Suit from Gagnons last spring on sale <$500. Love it! Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranks bait Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've had the Cabela's Guide Wear, BPS 100 MPH & Pro Qualifier Rain Suits and they've all been great! I think as long as you buy a quality(translation expensive) rain suit you'll do fine. I've heard real good thing about the Shimano Gore-Tex Rain Suit, everyone who has one seems to love them. We are giving one away as an early bird bird prize at the Bass talk session being held at Paddletales just outside of Ottawa. If you were considering attending maybe you should wait on that purchase get your registration in before the early bird and win that $450.00 Rain Suit! That would be sweet!Dave Not to change the topic here, but did you say Basstalk in Ottawa? Do you have info for this, maybe in a new thread. I was intrested in your other one, but it was too far for me to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Cabelas Guidewear hands down in my humble opinion. Get the bib pants as well, they're worth their weight in gold when you're sitting in a boat all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjw Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I bought the Frogg Toggs rainsuit at the Cleveland Sportsman show for $59 four years ago. I am very pleased with it. The suit is light weight and keeps me warm & dry. In addition to fishing, it easily fits into a golf bag and has accompanied me numerous times to fall high school football games.

Tomcat Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Here's another vote for Cabela's Guidewear. I've had the bibs and parka for three years now. I'm with Wayne on this one - best money I've ever spent on fishing equipment. Regardless how bad conditions have been, I've always stayed dry in my Guidewear.

douG Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) I don't think anyone of us, except noncommittal Dave, has tried all three or four of these suits, so it will be tough to guess which suit might be best *100mph*. I am sure that they all offer superb performance and are a comfort to wear. You gotta be happy and comfy in any of these suits in any kinda weather, the Shimano, Cabelas or BPS gear. A suit like that is a large investment in fishing gear, but I would easily trade half my rod and reel collection to keep that suit. I think it will last for many years.
