Best Fishing Rain Suit Out there???

Regardless of cost, what's the best "all around" 12 month rain suit out there on the market today?

* Simms
* Cabelas Guidewear
* Frogg Toggs
* Grundens
* Bucks N Bass
* etc....

This is like Ford vs Chevy...everyone has their preference and price range.

The question is how much are you willing to pay?

Regardless of cost? Simms Pro Dry- no contest

This

Been happy with my cabelas guide wear. I have had it for 5 or 6 years.

So far my BPS 100 mph has kept me dry..

I agree.

Frogg Toggs shouldn't even be in the list if you are looking for the best.

I currently have a Cabelas Guidewear that's probably going on 20 years old. It's had all the velcro replaced and has been treated numerous times over the years. That suit has been good for cold weather, but TX summers are a different story. I'm more interested in a suit that's not going to get heavy when wet, and could be used for all seasons with layering for the cold days. Looks like the Simms would be around $1200 for the set, any place offering a better price?

I was recently introduced to the Buck N Bass suit, but have yet to put my hands on a set. It's right up ther with the Simms, but not Gore-tex. Kind of liking the idea of a lighter suit that doesn't get saturated and heavy. How's the Simms handle all day rains, do they get heavy or soaked?

+1 although I have to say nowadays when it rains I either stay home or head home.

I have Bass Pro suit that was about $200 that works fine. I also have a Gill that was close to $500 that is really nice. It all depends on how much you're willing to spend.

Duluth Alaskan Hard Gear is really good stuff, and more affordable than Simms etc.. I can't speak of how watertight it is at 75 mph though.

Check out the Gill stuff.

I no longer fish in the rain.

bps 100mph for me. simms is probably the best.

Simms Pro Dry, hands down. Buy it and hide that receipt from the the wife. Very occasionally you can find them on sale. I got mine 20% off. eBay has good prices depending on the size you are looking for.

Same here.

If Kate finds out you spent $1,000 on a rain suit she will remove one of your body parts! For a small fee I won't tell her...

Agreed.

The BPS 100 MPH suit is is a good suit and has served me well. It is too heavy for most days IMO unless you are fishing for king crab in the Bering Sea. The straps over your shoulders for the bibs really weigh you down after about 10 hours in the rain. I know they make a lighter weight suit now that looks good. I guess it is the "50 MPH Suit"

I really like the Simms Pro Dry suit and it's ONLY $1,200.00

This is me in my 100 MPH BPS suit on a 15 degree day in Montana. I had on two layers underneath and was plenty toasty. Like I said, it is too heavy for most days IMO.

I'm sure there is a Foxworthy joke about the redneck from Texas wearing his Bass Pro suit to go snowmobiling in Montana. LOL

I have owned BPS 100 MPG gear, Frog Togs and Simms ProDry.

Frog togs suck in my opinion. They're uncomfortable, do not breath at all and are plain ugly.

100mph gear are great but Simms are far and a way better in my opinion but there is a big price difference.

Nice pic Ken!

Thanks bud. Not bad for a selfie.
