I have the Simms ProDry set. It will keep you dry if you're in a rain "weekend" when it rains over 2 days and you need the suit to keep you dry over time. BPS is great and Cabelas GW is great too. But give any of them the 2 straight day test and tell me which one keeps you dry? I've never had any of my Goretex rainsuits soak through - Cabelas Paclite or BPS 100MPH

Been using it for 4 years now. My wrists/forearms will get a little wet by the end of the day in constant torrential downpours but other than that it's dry and super warm. I'm still able to move and cast well with it on too. Scott Jones

I bought a Simms suit during this last Black Friday sale. The discount showed up in my cart right away and was discounted on my invoice as well. They also discount Daiwa but it does not show up in cart. When your card is charged yuoiu get the discount.

I have frogg toggs they keep the cold wind off in the winter and the rain. A lot of the guys I fish have toggs, they are cheap, they last a few years and do a job keeping cold wind and rain off. For $39 you can't go wrong, really how often do you get caught in the rain?

Fished two hurricanes on Fork during the Sealy Big Bass and one very nasty rain storm during Sealy just a few years back.

Not too restricting due to over insulation either, plus I'm 6'2" and 180 lbs and it does not fit me like a potato sack, sleeves and legs are plenty long for comfortable casting without riding up. 2021 Phoenix 921 Elite PB - Large Mouth Bass - 9.14
