I've had the BPS 100mph suit for 10 years and it is finally starting to show some signs of wear. It was a very good suit for a long time!

Had the h20 blues suit for about 3 years now, worn it in heavy rains. In the winter i wear it riding the quad to the blind.

I have been in the Gander Mountain jacket/bibs version for about 2 years and they have never failed me.

I wear Frogg Toggs in the summer and for travel. My Cabela's jacket & bibs have held up for 17ish years now. It's still my winter get-up.

Definitely bibs over pants. When you sit, stand, sit, stand on a soggy boat all day, you'll understand why.

Rain gear is worth every penny you spend on it. BPS, Simms, Cabelas Guidewear, or HUK are the only real options.
Bibs instead of pants. Bibs will keep your bottom dry

I have an almost new set of Huk that I'm going to sell. They are too small for me. Got a set of Frog Toggs for Christmas that will do me until cold weather.

Bibs are must-have. Like others have said, the pants are compromised the second you sit down; bibs stay dry.

Frogg Toggs are good for brief showers during the summer, and I still use them in the summer. But, they suck noodles in a downpour and are minimally effective at stopping the wind. Maybe the more expensive Frogg Toggs are better, but the mid-grade ones I have used are mediocre.

I've used a set of Cabela's Guide Wear for about three years now and they have done very well. They completely stop the wind and you can fish in a downpour all day and stay dry. I'm really sensitive to cold so I got an insulated set and can wear it up to about 55-60 degree air temperature before they become too hot to use, then I switch to the thin Frogg Togg suit. As good as the Guide Wear and 100 MPH suits are, I can't imagine what the SIMMS suits are like, being nearly double the price.

my cabelas guidewear is probably 15 years old and still keeps me dry....in 2010 I made an 18 day/2107 mile river trip in a small aluminum boat and I ran in the rain 13 out of 18 days.... I can't imagine a much tougher test but my guidewear kept me dry....

Try Field Supply. I don't know what they have left, but all of their Frabill stuff is on sale for SUPER CHEAP. I just spent 80$ for the F2 jacket and bibs...regular price would have been $300.
