I'm looking into purchasing some new rain gear. I looked at the BPS 100mph and I know its popular but I thought Simms had some good stuff as well but haven't heard much about them. Any thoughts or suggestions? As fast as u go you need BPS 225mph suit Seriously though I want one so bad I can taste it, but they don't make it in a real man size, so I guess I'll settle for a 45gal brute trash bag, either that or go to Dallas Tent and Awning and have one built

I've had both BP 100 and Cabelas Guidewear.
Gill beats them hands down.
Fished this morning on Sam in a flood. Missed leaving by about 10 minutes and ran to the slips at Powell Park to wait it out. Client was wearing Guidewear and and he was pretty damp down the middle of his shirt where the water ran down his neck. I was bone dry under mine.
Pricey, but dry.

I have the BPS Pro qualifier rain suit and i am more than pleased with it. It is the step down price wise from the 100mph suit but it does just as good. Very happy with it. Go try it on and see what you think.

Just get something with goretex in it. I have the cabelas guide wear but use some north face black pants that are wind and waterproof. Wear thermals and sweats underneath to stay warm. Just trying to save some money. The Simms are awesome but very pricey us normal fisherman without sponsors can't buy those

I have the Guidewear 4XLT in the bibs and 5XLT in the jacket. Plenty of room and have stayed dry in some pretty nasty storms. Also gives me room for a sweatshirt or 2 if I need to stay warm.

I have the Simms PAC lite, I got them a little large so I could wear them in milder weather and also put warm clothes on under them in winter.
If I had coin to waste I'd also get the cold weather Simms set, but I haven't needed t.
Best thing about the Simms is they seem to have become anti rain gear for me, I got soaked numerous times in other rain gears over the years and since I've bought my Simms as soon as it starts raining and I put it on it stops lololol.
