Yes Sunday was a good rain gear test on Lake Tyler. I wore H20 my wife Frog Togs a friends wife Pro Qualifier And her husband Cabellas. We all got wet to the elbows and ankles. H20 felt wet but I was dry. Frog Togs a little wet at seat. Cabellas and Pro Qualifers were dry on the out side about 30 min after the rain stopped H20 was wet outside till about 9 last night.

So after all that, who makes the best of those four?

I wore the H20 yesterday and I was dry everywhere except my feet as I had underarmor shoes on .... Any suggestions on waterproof lightweight shoes?

I just got my H2O's about a month ago and really put them through the paces last week at Fork...For $150 bucks you cant beat'em...We ran wide open in the driving rain and the only thing that got wet on my was my feet...Pack had on his Guide Wear and it seemed to stay dry as well, but I had 1/3 the cost in mine!!! banana

One thing to bear in mind.... Most rain gear will keep you dry when new. How well it performs a few years down the road is another matter all together.

Also wanted to add....Our last two club tourneys have both fallen on the last two big rain events, and my H20 gear has been perfect. My sleeves got wet Saturday, but I think it was because water was leaking into my gloves and down my arm.

Yep, that's what I'm wondering. Might have to look into some waterproofing stuff later on.

My 100mph gear is starting to show it's age. I stayed dry for the most part. My knees and arms got a little wet.

I looked at the Simms gear at the classic. Wow! That was some killer stuff but they are just too proud if it.
