    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!
    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....
