Default Rain Gear ?

We all have some form of Rain Gear , some more expensive than others ...

Right now I have a Gamehide Typhoon Parka ... but its so heavy and hot I only take this out when its Raining really hard .... if its not raining to hard I have a Halloway pullover .... but im thinking of getting a Frog Toggs Rain suit

what kind of Rain Suit do you use , or have used that you like ?
thanks ion advance for any replies

I use Grundens or Oilskins - heavy and strong, and you look like you are fishing!

The last couple weeks it has been rain and/or windy. This week looks dry and calm so hopefully I will find the time to be out fishing. I'll fish in the rain as long as the water conditions remain fishable, but I hate fishing in the wind.

Maybe at night? I have fished almost every day the past couple of weeks (and several of those days in the Lehigh Valley) so stop making excuses and get out there and fish

Grundens are good. Can't knock those. That's what I use for Alaska fishing (the lodge provided them).

I had an Oilskins jacket that the inner lining dried out and peel off. I'll never buy one of those again.

We have a pretty mild climate (Southern California). I bought a rain suit (pants/jacket) from Cabella's a few years ago. It rolls up really small so I can pack it along when there's only a chance of rain. An occasional spritz of ScotchGuard keeps it waterproof, in spite of repeated washings. It's also great to have along as a windbreak, if the wind is a little cold...

I only wear rain gear in a heavy down pour or flood. But If I had to choose it would definatly be Frogg Toggs. Cant beat them! Lightweight yet durable!

I was checking them out at ICAST and I know they are good gear, but I just can't get over the fact that they don't feel tough.

As for me I use mid-priced rubberized fabric rain gear. Usually if I am needing rain gear, I need to stay warm too.
