GBW Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hey all. So I was in the study this morning and found these Frogg Toggs Toadz ToadSkinz Bibs for Men in the BPS catalog. Anyone here have them? For the price at $50 for a bib pant and another $50 for a jacket, is this brand good? Thanks. http://www.basspro.com/Frogg-Toggs-Toadz-ToadSkinz-Bibs-for-Men/product/10204963/-1660279 Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Are you saying they fit just right or am I going to split the seat out of them when I bend down Roy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Alot of guys were this product. I thought when I first seen them,they would rip like paper towel. Great product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 They are a little light duty for me, but they are good rain gear. If you intend to use this stuff in the spring or fall, I wouldn't reccomend them. They are like paper. I had a full rain suit by them, and it didn't make it thru the first season. They are nice and light for those muggy summer rainstorms though.... S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmac1984 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I prefer the columbia omni tech pants. While they are not the bib style, they are very comfortable, light weight and can slip on over any pant you are wearing if the rain comes quick. The pockets are open meaning they will go through to the pant underneath so you can get at the pockets of what you were wearing before the rain pants. You can get those for around $40. http://www.basspro.com/Columbia-Thunderstorm-II-Rain-Pants-for-Men/product/103920/-1639736 you can get the matching jacket for around $60 to $70 so it is almost in the price range you have mentioned. http://www.basspro.com/Columbia-Watertight-Rain-Jackets-for-Men/product/10204961/-1786183 I use these and I can fish all day when it rains and not sweat underneath in the heat of the summer.

GBW Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thank you all for the replies. My main use for then will be as an added layer in the spring and fall (for warmth over what I have on and to keep dry) as well as summer use. I like the bib style more so there is no gap between the jacket and pant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCregal Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 my dad has a pair of the pants and a jacket, he keeps them in the saddlebag on his motorcycle for when he gets caught in the rain. they're really light and pack down nice and small. he does have a small hole in one leg as it brushed up against the exhaust. i dont know how much warmth you'll get from them, they're almost a paper material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thats what I got them for Greg, and they didn't make it thru the summer. I destroyed them in about 6 weeks. The columbia gear is much better IMO. I just found them really, really light duty. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I have found that the last two items I have purchased by columbia have been VERY poorly made. bad zippers and stitching coming apart all over the place so this is why I was looking at the Frogg Toggs. Any others out there that are good for $100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any others out there that are good for $100? Geoff, I bought a Perma rain suit from CTC a couple years ago and I'm really happy with it.... I can't remember exactly how much I paid for but it was around $60.00 - $70.00 price range for the jacket and pants. Good quality if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Try the Viking brand from Marks Work wearhouse. I have a set that has been pretty good for a while now. They will keep you dry for a while, but if its really pooring, you get wet in anything. You should really just pay the money, and get one good set. By the time you go thru a few cheaper sets, you'll wish you did. The BPS 100mph gortex gear is pretty hard to beat for the price. The redhead bonedry brand of gear is also not bad. You really don't get much for $100 these days. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 No complaints with the Frogg Toggs... Been in pretty big downpours and have come out completely dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Another vote for the BPS 100 MPH. The only downside for this top gear is the advertising you have to wear. All that gingerbread bugs me largely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomO Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Their good for wind and light rain but if your in a good down pour for an extended period they leak . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scugpg Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Another vote for the BPS 100 MPH. The only downside for this top gear is the advertising you have to wear. All that gingerbread bugs me largely. The BPS Pro qualifier or Cabelas guidewear are good choices if you aren't into promoting BPS so much. Gander MTN just came out with a new lineup of rainwear http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=433112&pdesc=Gander_Mountain_GSX_Mens_Fishing_Parka&aID=501B5&merchID=4006 They also have the TechH20 lineup. Personally I'd go with something thicker than the toggs unless you are just using them for warm summer rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm okay with getting one item at a time. so spending $100 on a bib and then later $100 on a new jacket (I have one still in good shape) then that works too. I think the BPS stuff is over priced to be honest, I may find a better product out there from the hunting side I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grt1 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 i got a pair about 5 years ago and although they are getting pretty bare, i keep using them to break the wind and light rain. i did buy a new pair last year and to date i haven't taken them out of the bag. for the price they are a great asset in lightweight rain gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
