Generally speaking, I think you get what you pay for. So if you break down and buy the high-dollar Simms or Huk, I'm sure they will do fine. However I also think you can buy the cheaper stuff (Academy Brand, Frabill, Bass pro brand etc) non-insulated rain gear one size bigger than you typically wear and layer up underneath it.

Bass Pros 100 MPH gear has worked really for me the last 8 years or so. During the summer it can be too hot but I find during the colder months I rarely have to wear much under it.

I've had Bass Pro 100 MPG gear for over 10 years and it's still in great shape. It was around $600 when I bought it. I wouldn't exactly call it "cheaper stuff."

I think if you buy Huk you are also required to purchase a flat bill and some white Oakleys. roflmao

I'm going on 15 years with the same pair of 100 mph suit bibs, I stay as dry and windproof today as I did on day 1. I cant speak for the other suits out there, never had to try anything else after my purchase in 2004. thumb

I am on my second pair of H2Os and I think its just time to bite the bullet and buy something that lasts. I have been looking at the BP 100s and am leaning more that way. Thanks for the replies!

Guess I didn't realize 100 MPH gear was the only rain gear Bass Pro made....lol
They make several different suits in different price ranges. The Bone-dry or Tourney Special are both made by Bass pro and are around $200 for a set....

If you were to have said "My 250 HP Yamaha is faster than a Mercury" we would not have assumed you were talking about a 150 HP Mercury.

Bass pro had came out with a 200MPH set last year and maybe it didn't do so well as it's on sale right now for less than the 100MPH stuff!!

Cabelas Guidwear. Bought on internet sale. 1/2 price. Tried them on at the store to be sure of fit, ordered it online from their computer and picked up the same ones I had tried on because of store pickup for 1/2 the price off the racks. 10 years ago and still one of the best upgrades for myself after 20 years of freezing my rear off every winter bundled up in a snowmobile suit and looking like the kid on The Christmas Story. Game Changer.....well great investment anyway.

Rivers West, go to Cascade direct.com to buy. Best gear I've ever used and isn't nearly as marked up as other brands. Also stalk thier clearance it changes monthly

I heard from 2 very reliable sources the HUK rain gear they bought is horrible and they get soaked. But they are very nice looking suits.

I have bass pro 100 mph, its pretty heavy gear just for rain in my opinion, it is very durable and great though for 55 or colder days with almost nothing underneath..

I was at bass pro the other day and bought another set of much lighter material called the tourney special I believe... Its more of a true lw rain gear. It should be good in the wind just like the 100 mph but it is easily half the weight.

Jeff makes a good point. I have a set of the Academy H2O bibs and jacket that my son bought me 2 years ago. I stay nice and dry, but too heavy IMO if it's above 50.
