^this^ best one I have ever owned

All I have to say is you don’t get wet in gore Tex.....

I got wet in my Gore-Tex BPS 100 suit yesterday. Nothing major, but it isn’t impervious to any storm. Lol. I’d say I was 85% dry, but 15% wet in all the wrong places. Don’t wear grey sweatpants underneath them, then think you’re gonna stop at whataburger on the way home without someone thinking you’ve wet yourself.

There isn’t a single rain suit on the market that will keep you dry and warm like Simms. No one can hold a candle to them. They’re also backed by the best customer service in the fishing clothing industry by far.

There are a lot of good suits, but no good ones are cheap. People that claim otherwise don't know what a good suit can do. If you don't find a really good sale you will have to spend a minimum of $400 for a bib and jacket combo and likely more like $600. Also forget pants and only go with bibs. They do not have to be GoreTex, but they have to be a similar breathable material. I really like my Gill suit because it is totally water proof and lighter than most. It has kept me completely dry running 55 MPH for 40 minutes on Rayburn in a serious downpour that included some light hail. I really probably should have even gone that fast to be honest. I was wearing a full face shield over my jackets hood or the water would have gotten in with all the wind driven pressure. That day turned very ugly very fast and I just needed to get back to the ramp. I've had my Gill suit for 10 years and it is still as good as day one. I also really like Simms. I used to really like the Guide Wear and 100 MPH suits, but they quality seems different that it was 20 years ago. I don't have experience with other brands.

Now finding a good pair of water proof shoes to that aren't too bulky and allow you to feel your boats deck and the trolling motor foot pedal is a different story. I'm still searching for something I really like. It has to be at least 3/4 height to get a good interlock with your bibs to be truly effective. So far I've had to sacrifice feel to be totally water proof.
