I got one last night.

However, I was wondering if anyone who has one noticed if it shrunk at all once they washed and dried it?

I bought a large, but i'm right on the fence between a large and XL. I'm thinking if it shrinks some after I wash and dry it a few times I might need an XL.

I have washed mine several times and never noticed it shrinking.

If it does and you washed it according to the instructions take it back. Bass Pro will stand behind it 100%.

You will not be disapointed in your purchase that's the best rain/foul weather gear I have ever owned.

Why not just wash it and hang it up to dry in the garage? That's what I've always done with mine.

If its on the edge of fitting I would take it back. If it gets cold you want enough room to put a few extra clothes on.

You want it to fit big. In the event it gets really cold you need to be able to throw on some layers underneath. Best suit I have owned!! Good choice.

It's not made out of cotton, so it shouldn't shrink. However, did you try it on with extra clothes on? If you put the extra clothes on for cold weather, and it's a bit snug, I would take in back and get an XXL.

Wash and DO NOT DRY it. Hang it up. No probs with mine. Great investment.

It's bargain at 400.00. All you need is one lousy day that you are wet and freeze your tail off to justify the expense.

We sure do sell a lot of them at BPS Garland. Have asked customers if they like them. Seem to like them and they bring their buddies in to get one as well. I want one.

If I had to pay what my 100mph suit is worth I could not afford it.

Trust the guys that have them they are worth every penny.

I don't have the 100mph but the XPS series (now Pro Qualifier) and I'm with Monte - worth every penny I paid and then some.

You can wash according to instructions and hang to dry - shouldn't shrink. Buy one larger than you think you need.

don't dry??? yall need to do some research goretex. u need to dry them. the warm air rises the dwr or fibers which allow goretex to repel water. the dryer is what re-activates them. there is also a gortex detergent available. btw, i ve had mine for 4 years and havent had to was all that much and they have been flawless. even works great this time of year on the motorcycle.
