Rain Gear ??

[yodie]

I have wore out my Sheels Outfitter rain gear and can’t find it any more. sadens me as I had this parka for almost 10 years and they were awesome but have lost there water proofing and are falling apart.

I am looking to replace them and cant make up my mind what to get. I am forced to fish in the wind and rain often and need quality and dry rain gear. What do any of you recomend?

I”ve had my gander guide series tech20’s for over 6 years now and haven’t had any problems (knock on wood). i dont fish in the rain to often but they’ve worked.

I’ve used my Cabela’s bibs and jacket since the Owatonna store grand opening and had to replace the bibs once, because they leaked in the seat, after 5 years. No hassle returning them; lifetime warranty, never any problems since.
I see they have even improved them again this year. You will pay for quality though; but with Cabela’s standing behind your investment, its well worth it.

I have had gander rain gear and it was okay until i got a cabelas parka and bibs set. the cabelas set is a lot of $$$ but its completely worth every penny.

Cabelas rain gear is the best I’ve had hands down.

If you get a chance, check out “Calcutta” rain gear. I bought their bibs and coat 3 years ago and am very pleased with them…….just throwing out another option.

My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.

I have had zero complaints about my Cabelas Guidewear. My dad has had his for probably 10yrs and no problems.

I actually just bought another suit a size bigger mainly for the spring/fall if I need more layers underneath.

They just changed the guidewear a little and the old stuff is on closeout. I got my jacket for I think $129 and the bibs for $139. For that price IMO best rain suit you can get.

I purchased the Frabill Storm suit from Reeds and love the suit. I did have to return the bibs because a leak in the seat but had no problems with the return to Reeds. I would highly recommend taking a look at this suit. I fish Leech quit a bit and with the big winds and waves this suit has been steeler!

Hi Tom. Ive been using Cabelas guidewear x300. Ive stayed warm and dry. Sometimes to warm, but better to be warm then wet. The only draw back is there is too much velcro. Lots of pockets as well.

Great rain gear. See ya in May.

I think the parkas are 129 right now at cabelas. Not sure about the bibs.

x2. I purchased the guidewear lite when I used to fish bass tourneys. I still use it 10 years later.

Anyone tried Frogg Toggs? I like ability to stuff it for BWCA trips. I dosent look real tough but the fact that it is lightweight is ideal for my purposes.

I totally agree with eyesfish2. Lifetime warranty is the ticket. i too had to only replace the bibs cause of seat leakage.
