Tried search but couldn't find any results. What is a good warm weather rain suit? 100 MPH, HUK, Gill? Any others?

Simms

100 mph is hot in warm weather... but its the only one with sealed sleeves.

My son and I have Gill, they have sealed sleeves, they have a velcro tab to get the rubber seal as tight as you prefer. We've had them for over two years and very happy with them.

They have sealed sleeves? AS IN a inner seal like a condom around your wrist (or divers suit) or just the velco outer is what your calling sealed?

Bottom of the sleeves have a rubber seal. I'd have to look at the jacket to verify how far up it goes but there's two tabs to tighten, the outer shell and the rubber inner shell. We have the FG21. I'm sure most of the major brands are good. The Gill FG21 keeps us dry and we wear it all the time, rain or dry, in the cold weather. I'd say it's medium weight rain suit. It's not going to keep you warm in really cold weather but it's not lightweight either.

thanks I found this on ebay in the description


"Retractable outer cuff adjusters with PU inner seals for watertight comfoort"

Is that coat a lighter weight than the bps 100 mph it looks to be the same material basically?

I think I may have answered your question when I edited the above post but I'd classify it as a medium weight jacket. I have looked at the 100 mph suit but it's been over a year and don't recall the thickness of it. The Gill is not super warm, anything below around 50 I'm wearing some layers underneath it. But, I'm in Texas so 40 and below is pretty cold here.

Wanting to get something as light weight and cool as possible.

The Simms Challenger Jacket looks good but I hate to spend that much without some input from here. Thanks

Simms. Everything else is for amateurs.

Simms is worth the investment. I have never, ever been wet or cold while wearing their products.

I have a lightweight Simms Goretex jacket that I found on the internet for $70. Combine it with North Face lightweight pants and it's really good in warm weather. I have used it in a number of places around the world. Always works good for me. It's also a good jacket for a 50 degree morning.

For a warm weather Jacket the Simms Waypoint is a good option.

BPS bone dry. Works well, sealed sleeves and overlap zippers w/ Velcro flap

My Stormr Aero jacket has neoprene seals at the wrist.

The "Warm Weather" part of your question would really depend on what is warm weather.

80+ is very warm if having to wear a coat.

I wonder if the nano has the neoprene wrists, its a lighter jacket yet than yours.

The Simms site usually has some killer deals and offer free shipping. Fast shipping too.

www.simmsfishing.com

It doesn't list that feature on the Nano page so I wouldn't think it has it.

Thats what I thought also, bummer.

I have a Gill and like it.

I bought the STORMR Nano jacket and pants earlier this year and it�s very lightweight and waterproof

I don�t like large, bulky, flappy rain gear so fit and material are important to me

I used it extensively on a fishing trip to Canada and it performed very well under adverse weather conditions

Does it have sealed wrists or just the velcro?

Velcro

Froggtoggs best on the market and cant beat the prices

Simms Pro Dry. Avoid the challenger. There's a reason it's much cheaper. I got talked into buying Simms Pro Dry about 6 months ago. Zero regret. The stuff is just awesome. Very light weight and completely water proof. The worst part is figuring out how to explain the purchase to your wife.

Hard to beat good goretex. I have Cabela's guidewear and it's not heavy. If cold, I wear more under it. Usually can get amazing deals on it around Christmas when they clear out old stock

Iv'e been very pl;eased with my BPS Bonedry suit

Gill FG21J hood and inner cuff system explained.

Kids got me a set of Frogg Toggs a few years ago. They work great. I can also fold them back up for easy storage.

So Simms makes you a pro ? Did you get a 10 percent discount?

Another Simms ProDry users here - expensive, but you can find decent pricing if you look around. I looked at the Gill Tournament suit but it was heavy/hot - no good for Florida. I think all the "older style" Gore suits are hotter than the newer lighter Gore - so the 100mph/Guide series will be heavier/hotter. Guidewear Pro has the newer lighter fabric so would be better, but again the cost jumps up. BPS prob has something also. Didn't try Stormr or UA so don't know about those.

Academy H2O works well for me. Neoprene cuffs and most of all its easy on the wallet!

I have the BPS 100 mph set. They are so so and kinda over priced. In a soaker like Saturday and yesterday, I was really wet. Nothing keeps you dry in a torrential downpour. They are DURABLE and comfortable, but too hot in a warm rain. Kinda bulky, but that�s expected. In cooler/cold weather they are great. They make a liner for the jacket, but, it must be made of unicorn hide, as I have NEVER been able to find one in a store or online. For that reason, I have a Woolrich sweater that I wear under the jacket in sub 40 fishing, making it even bulkier.

I�d give them a 7+ out of 10.

Nope....my H2o express from academy has neoprene sealed sleeves....bone dry and warm.
Parka and bibs $130

This^^^^smart man right here.
I wear the same gear and love it.

^^^^Same here

+ 1

+1.. when h20 went to the black gear from the blue they really did some upgrades.. Wanting to buy another jacket just for work

H20 Xpress for me.. The only thing I hate about them is that people don't look at me because it doesn't say Simms on them.....

Does anyone have the Cabela�s Rainy River Parka/pants? I have Guidewear and a Simms jacket, but like OP, I�d like something for summer or warmer weather.

My NorthFace rain pants let me down last week. But I�ve had them for a long time.

The Rainy River is a lightweight Gore-Tex. I wonder if anyone has a lightweight bib?

The Guidewear/100 MPH are too warm for some occasions.

In warm weather just get a $15 rain suit from academy. Keeps you dry and saves cash for more lures!

I'd look at the hiking/outdoor equipment. A Patagonia Torrent Shell for ~$120 and Northface Venture2 pants for ~$80. These are high quality products that are not made specifically for fishing, but will keep you dry and cool for around $200. That's about half the price of the specialty "fishing" rain jackets. Layer like the hikers do, and you'll do as well for much less money.

I've owned my share of expensive fishing stuff, and find them unnecessary. In the end, the objective is to keep you bone dry without overheating.

Some people like to buy $1000 golf clubs thinking it will improve their game. Spend $300 on a set and $700 on lessons instead...
Good Luck,
Tim

H2O Xpress soft shell for me to, for the money its the best out there, fished in a monsoon on Richland Chambers once and it kept me dry.

I have BPS and would not bother getting another one.... I absolutely hate the cuffs on your wrist they are extremely tight and un comfortable offer no adjustment. Plus getting the jacket on and off is a chore and if your not extremely careful you will rip them. I do not have large arms either so I can not imagine someone with large arms/wrist using this jacket.

Cabelas guidewear jacket and bibs! bone dry and yes it has the sealed sleeves too.

Funny

This what I use no complaints

In my experience, Simms is the best so far -- they also have the lightest and warmest if you need those qualities.

My Simms ProDry suit got the work out of work outs this last weekend on Texoma. I was completely dry other than some wicking by my sweatshirt sleeves which I could have prevented by tightening the straps on the wrist. This suit is very light weight and worth every penny and I wear it in both warm and cold weather.
