I am looking at buying some new rain gear this year. I am looking at Bass Pro 100mph and Pro Qualifier as well as Academy H2O express and the Frabill F2 Surge suit. Has anyone bought these suits? I am wondering about the difference between the Pro Qualifier and the 100mph suit. They are basically the same price. Are they worth the extra money over the H2O or the Frabill?

Research it on here, been discussed several times..

I recently bought the H20 expresses suit and returned it. First day out in the rain and I got soaked through. Gore-Tex is the way to go. 100mph are on sale at BPS right now. Also, shop around, even on here, I've seen a lot of great deals.

Didn't matter today to me
I had 3 sets on at the same time today and still got a little moist

This is a family site Sir!............

I tried Frogg Toggs, got soaked. Now am trying Academy H2O bibs and coat.
If and when I buy another it will be Fabrill !
I have read too many reports on how good they perform.
JMO...
Good luck and God Bless

My h2o suit has been great.

I have the cabellas bibs and a bass pro qualifier jacket. Lost the bibs at a bar one night When I bought the new bibs, cabellas had em on sale cheaper than BPS.
I made it thru noon today and was dry untill I drove thru a down pour and my face got all wet and it ran down my neck. I tried my phace mask but it fogged up on me. I think on a day like today, you need two sets, one for the first half of the day, then one for the 2nd half. I recently ordered some lightweight goretex by Marmont Co. who specializes in mountain climbing gear. Gonna wear them over some insulated coveralls Sunday.

This, I just sprayed Scotch Guard on the seams and this thing is as water tight as it gets in a rainstorm.

I have the 100mph stuff from BPS. It works great. Fits great. And is a good deal when on sale. That said. Sometimes it rains soooo hard that nothing is gonna keep you 100% dry. And I mean nothing. The nice thing about the 100mph stuff is its lined and is also loose enough to add layers underneath. I fished today in them with sweat pants and two t shirts underneath. Stayed dry enough and warm enough to spend most of the day on the water. Hands and feet covered with Gore-Tex too. Have 100mph gloves for boating and Glacier Gloves for fishing. Use Timberland Gore-Tex shoes. With wool socks. Only thing really exposed is my face....but, "no shave November" is helping there. Haha.

I have both XPS and 100 mph. 50 up to 65 degrees I use the XPS below 50 I use 100 mph. Below 40 I will put the fleece liner in the 100 mph parka. Warm and dry with both suits. I fish year round and they both work great.

I've been in the worst wind and rain with the 100mph. I was out there today too. I stay completely dry. If BPS has em on sale, i'd get it.

My BPS Goretex is 14 years old and still going strong.

Goretex or bust no comparison BPS or Cabelas or Simms all will keep u warm and dry
