My wife got a set of the Guide Series rain gear last spring, and we’ve only been out in the rain a couple of times. One of them was over Memorial Day Weekend, and it was a driving hard rain. I had an older Stearns rain gear set on, and got soaked after 1 hour. My wife and I stayed out for 3 hours, and I was soaked, but she was bone dry! I would certainly think it’s worth the money.
