Location: Minneapolis, MN | I like my BPS 100MPH gear. Bought it one size too big and I layer fleece and thinsulate under it when it gets cold. Easy to strip multiple layers as the day warms. |

Location: Chicago | I sat in the rain Fri thru Sunday in Madison. I wore Galyans Goretex(sp?)on sunday and I was dry all day. It is not for the summer as Goretex is too heavy. I had a Northface Jacket which was made of Hyvent and the pockets leaked and I was soaked all day Saturday.
Good luck!

Location: Germantown & Land O Lakes WI | I have 2 of the Gander H2O Tech suits and love them. Larger than true sizes allow for layering, great waterproof durability. The elbows, thighs and seat are rienforced as well. Great suit for $200.00 |

I was thinking of posting the same question. After fising in a complete downpour on Saturday and being wet in my Frog Toggs, I decided to throw on my duck hunting Columbia gear for Sunday. Leaked faster than the Frogg Toggs did !!!
Even the most expensive stuff I heard leaked this weekend. I don't know of one person who stayed completely dry ! |

Location: MN | Don't know the brand I got at Gander, but they are the red jackets, onlt ones there that are breathable, etc...Great for warm weather and early fall. For warmer weather, get a size larger and get the Rain Suede dry plus from cabelas. LAst year, they had it only in camo...Awesome stuff - best stuff out there! |

| I, too like my 100 MPH Bass Pro. I got such a good deal on it, I had to buy it. Any of the big names are good. Columbia, Cabela's, and even Gander has good stuff.
If you want to have some fun, call the Gander in Wausau, ask for Tom, and then ask him if he has any 100 MPH Rain Gear! hehehe |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I have a 10 year old set of 10X Rain gear; Gortex, that still keeps me dry as can be. No idea what the suit costs today, but I am sure they still make it. The hood zips, ties, and storm flaps using velcro. The pants and top are light, and cool to wear in summer. I also got it a size too big, and now I have lost a bunch of weight, it fits really nice with a hooded sweat underneath. Best rainsuit I have ever owned, and I have used it ALOT. |
