They work great.
Get the bibs instead of pants so water stays out when being active

I have the ToadSkinz and love them especially during late spring and summer as it is not as hot as a lot of gortex suits. I think my jacket is for motorcycle riding. As previous poster said get the bibs. They won't last like a high dollar suit but for the cost I can buy 2 or more replacements. They stood behind a 1 year warranty when I had a zipper on the jacket go out. Did rip a small hole in the bibs on mine but just put an inner-tube patch on it.

They will keep the rain off of you. If it's warm and raining outside you sweat to death before the rain stops. Cabela's makes a much better rain suit that is also useable.

I've only had the cheaper versions; they're ok. The bibs are much better than the pants. The suits do not breathe well and they usually will only keep me dry for about 30 minutes of steady rain. After that, my clothes inside the suit start getting damp. They're fine for a quick summer shower but that's about all.

If you plan on being in rain for an extended period of time they suck. For a quick rain shower they do fine. I would consider them to be more "water resistant" than "water proof".

Mine work great. They keep me perfectly dry underneath.
When it's cold and rainy I use a 100 mph but in the summer it's Frog Toggs all the way. Cheap and effective. I got mine on the clearance rack at Academy (or Dick's?) for $7 for the set.

Yes, great for those showers that come out of nowhere. Also pack up very small to store in the boat.

You guys should try out their new Pilot Rain suit - jacket and bibs. It's awesome! I own the Simms Pro Dry, but when this new suit came in I got the chance to demo it. Lightweight, keeps rain out and isn't too warm. Good for layering up underneath based upon the conditions and using the suit as needed during rain.
Leaps and bounds (so to speak) above their old stuff.

I have the Toadskinz bibs and jacket. I wore it 6 hours last Saturday in blowing rain and stayed dry. Also stayed dry about a month ago coming across Texoma in 2-3 ft chop and spray. Much better than their old $30 suits. I think its great for spring and summer. In winter you can always layer up under it. Just my .02 worth.

I got a set when they first came out, and really anything over a heavy mist or quick shower they suck.
They may have changed their material, but im not impressed.

In my experience they do not hold up...especially after you wash them. They get really fuzzy. I realize that I am much harder on my equipment than most will read this post, but I would recommend getting something a little more durable. Academy H2O bibs and parka are my good for the price. I have been told Cabela's Guide Wear is top of the line.
