I also vote for the 100MPH gear...I've had a set for 4 years now and they are awesome...they also ran longer than the Cabela's stuff which I needed because I'm 6'6" and its all legs.

Guidewear is the way to go on the Tall. BPS tall aren't that tall. Even if they have tall. I am 6'4" and weigh 225#, was 255# and it still fit great. I have bought a Light set, Regular set, and PacLite set now. I wouldn't waste my money on anything else with my height. I have bought Cabela's tall stuff and BPS tall stuff. I won't buy any tall stuff from BPS again.

That's good info big red 12, the tall size was my biggest worry on the fit. Cabelas customer service said they would exchange until I got the right fit, so that is comforting.

The Frabill Storm Suit is amazing. It is designed to be ergonomically fit and is easily the most comfortable i have worn. Does not restrict movement in any way. It keeps you bone dry too. Again you just need to see one to appreciate it. Those walleye guys depend on their rain gear
Ore than most and they hit a home run here. Sold my Guidewear as soon as i saw the Frabill.
For lighter use the Under Armour Barrage suit is great.

Tammi has the 100 MPH. I have the BPS Pro Qualifier. I've laid them out side by side and can't tell a difference other than the embroidery.

I was walking through Academy earlier this summer and saw a pair of Hodgeman bibs marked down from $60 to $12. Needless to say, I couldn't pass up a deal like this. Only fished in them a couple of times and pleased so far. Stayed dry, isn't that whats important? Depending on how much you want to spend just look around

I have the academy h2o express set and it works good for me and I got the set for 150. I have only had them or a year but so far I couldn't ask for more.

100mph has been great to me. Paid for itself over and over.

Just ordered the guide ware. They sent the wrong size and were out of the 2x . So I got the BPS. I have the academy brand its good for the money I really never had a problem with it.

The Cabelas Guide Wear and the BPS 100MPH are both equal in my opinion. I have had the Guide Wear for 3yrs now and they are great. Polaris has a bib fleece liner that works well in combo with Under Armor Cold. I got my fleece liner at a thrift store for $5 with the tag still on it. My luck. But, there is a fleece bib liner at Goodwill that is made for them. Check it out for an inexpensive add on. Point is, just don't get the insulated bibs in Guide Wear or 100BPS.
