Anyone here have a set of Frogg Toggs rain wear? I am looking for a light weight warm weather rain suit and these look like they might fit the bill very nicely.

Toggs are lightweight but not very durable and have no pockets.

Frogg Toggs are excellent for moderate weather conditions - very light in weight and provide a good wind/sun break and will also keep out moderate rain. I have both Frogg Toggs and Cabela's Guidewear and wear the Toggs far more often, but when the weather is at all nasty, out comes the Guidewear. A big plus is that they will compress down to fit into a really small space. If pockets are a consideration for you, the jacket has no pockets and there are two slits in the pants that go through to the slits in your pants pockets.

Don't like them myself. Definitely want something breathable and you'll pay a little more for that, but it is worth it. Look at Cabelas and Bass Pro. Bass Pro's line of Deluxe Rainwear is simple and affordable. Check out your local Galyan's for Columbia's line up as well....Lots to choose from!

Toggs are definitely breathable - that's why I bought them, since I tend to overheat easily. They have millions of microscopic pores - 1/20,000th the size of a rain drop. Personally, I have yet to find anything else as lightweight and comfortable.

I agree with Otter....I like them for the spring/summer when its warm but wet. They do breath and are light weight. They don't stick to you when they get wet like a typical raincoat. When it gets nasty cold and wet though bring out the heavy stuff...
