Bassky
Made the run to Bass Pro and got the 100mph parka top yesterday. I didn't like the bottoms because of the stretchy bungee straps for the shoulder harness. I figured I would wait and see what else is out there. Anyone have any problems with the bungee type material? Just looks flimsy to me.....
I got the Cabelas guide wear. Never been wet since, great wind break to.Little hot in the summer, need a lighter jacket when its hot.

Buy Jenny Craig Rain Gear.

I put my pants on in a hurry once, got the bungee strap on my foot as it ran down the leg, and when that strap came of my big tow and retracted up the pants leg I thought I was gonna have to rename my boat to "Tiny-Tim".
So I don't buy rain pants with bungee straps, they have to have elastic waistlines. The kind that expand so you can wear them for 15 years (TYME>>>>>HELLO?S?S??S?SS).
Incidentally, since the bungee strap episode, I've found one of my 2 Adam's apples makes my knees give out when you squeeze it. The good news is I'm really excited each time I get to wear a tie.

I am going to order the jacket after I post this. Eighty bucks total for pants and jacket. If I burn a hole in them or cut them I can get another pair or duct tape them. They are comfortable, low cost and no way possible rain is getting through.
Keep your line wet and your clothes dry![/QUOTE]
OK. got the jacket in and have worn a few times. It's got three snaps on the sleeve to adjust the wrist opening. The hood is not as well fitted as the really expensive rain suits but it is way more fitted than just a hood that a cheap jacket would have and in combination with wearing a baseball style hat with under the hood it is plenty good for me. It zips up to approx your chin as a good jacket would do.
I wore jacket and pants this past Saturday while netting bait for thirty minutes and it was seventy degrees and was not aware of any sweating problems.
It is made of very soft, thinnish, stretchy rubber and who knows what...not like the old pvc reain gear. The seams are welded. I would recommend it! $80 Bucks for top and bottom. I don't see any way rain could get past this thing unless and your face is taking the rain head-on at 25 mph...now really who takes rain bullets with their face.

I went fishing on Saturday and as forecast we got some rain which is good because I wanted to test my new BPS 100MPH Parka. It was great! The hood protected my face/neck/chin from the rain and I was dry as a bone. I don't have the bibs because of the bungee straps that I didn't like. I'm going to get some cheaper bibs or wet weather pants and be done with it.
This parka is great and all but I'm going to get a Summer rain suit as well....
