What do you guys wear during the summer for rain gear. I already have a set of guide wear. It can get extremely warm wearing it in the june july period.

If its warm out just wear your birthday suit! That way when you pull up on your favorite spot, everyone else will leave!

FroggToggs are awesome! They are breathable and affordable depending on which kind you buy!

Cabelas makes some nice lightweight raingear you can roll up into a bag it comes with. Jacket and pants 80 -90 bucks. Pants zip up to the waist.

Go to www.sierratradingpost.com and check ut their selection of Goretex rain gear. I bought two parkas and a pair of pants and a pair of bibs for what one set of the pricey stuff would cost you. You can buy an uninsulated shell with great ventilation that you can wear winter and summer and just change your layers that you wear underneath. Everything that I bought was made by Marker, and I've never worn better stuff. It's roomy without being bulky and comfortable to fish in. It's marketed for snow boarders and skiers, but it's water and wind proof and has ventilation zippers right where you need them. Goretex is the way to go what ever you get.

Frogg Toggs are very well made and work great in warmer conditions.

Another vote for Cabelas uninsulated Guidewear. Then insulated Guidewear in the Spring and Fall months, couldn't be happier! Frogg Toggs are decent too.
