    What brand of rain gear

    ....do you have? I started this thread as I didn't want to take away from ElevenBravos Frog Togg thread....

    My gear is pretty dated and yellow too boot. Now I actually have some "late model" stuff. It is the bright green DOT approved stuff. I do keep it for roadside problems to stay visible.

    I think the Frog Toggs are probably pretty good, but here in the deep south, I'm thinking they will be too hot for summer time use. Sooooooo.....

    I'm thinking a nice set of Gore Tex duds....

    What ya'll got....?

    Just plain ole waders and jacket, the ones that the boots are built in. Cant remember where we got them from but they are green rubberized.
    I am me,
    I am free,
    You can not change me.

    If you try, you will see,
    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.

    I think GT is probably the measuring stick that anything would be... er, measured. Short of that, I have a set of Red Ledge that I love. It does breath pretty well, and deff. keeps me DRY IN A DOUNPOUR!


    This is the jacket I got, they dont show it but the store has the pants too, I got the set. IMHO its foolish to only get a jacket, a full set offers premium protection.

    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.

    I bought them from Izzy. I think he still has a nice set of rain gear (non Gore-Tex) that he's selling though.
