Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | Do any of you know if these are insulated or are thin enought to wear during the summer months?
Need new rain gear for May-September, but want something light. |

| Mine are not insulated - purchased last spring. I wear them through out the seasons and use my under layers to control heat. Make sure you get it sized so you can wear bulkier cold weather layers underneath. |

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | Do you like them? How light weight are they?
I have good cold weather gear, just need something for the warmer months. |

| Yeah I like them a lot. I find they are breathable and yet help keep the sting of cold & wind and rain out. I don't know how to compare them to give you an idea of weight. The thing I like about them is that they are pliable enough and I don't crinkle when I move.
I really don't have any complaints about them. The legs unzip to knee height to allow easy on/off. The hood has a mouth/chin cover that helps keep you warm. The hip pockets on the pants have no pockets - they are just zippers to provide access to your pants pockets. The jacket pockets are mesh so anything wet you put in there can drain out.
I just thought of one complaint - on the jacket pockets, sometimes the sipper catches on the material - no biggie to correct.
Both the jacket and the pants have adjustable velcro cuffs so you can cinch down if you want / need to.
All zippers are reinforced as well.
Will it hold up to the use you'd put it through as a guide? I dunno - I'd think so but my time on the water is MUCH less than yours. I do wear it in inclement weather when not on the water.

Location: WESTERN WI | The Guide Series are excellent. I have found in warmer weather conditions when rain approaches Frogg Toggs seem to work well. Very lightweight, definatly keep you dry. But when a big storm kicks up I prefer the heavier material, Gore Tex,etc. |
