I have a 15 year old Cabelas guide wear suit, think I am going to retire it to only use when very cold, don't know about best bang for the buck but I think I will try the Gill suit.

big difference between a rain suit and one that will keep you dry and warm. I use 100MPH in the cold and other options like john175 was saying when only lightweight is needed.

You get what you pay for, don't go too cheap...I use a 100mph BassPro for winter and rain.

I just wore my new Gill suit for the first time Saturday. I am very impressed with it. The only bad part is I can't reach anything in my pants, such as keys or a pocket knife, without unzipping the jacket and bib.
I still have a BPS Pro Qualifier suit that is probably 12-13 years old and I loved it, too. I do like the Velcro on the Gill shoulder straps better than the buckles and elastic on the BPS. It's easier to adjust and get just tight enough.
