Looking for some feedback/input on what you guys are wearing out there.I’m looking at upgrading my columbia gear,any recomendations would be appreciated. 
I have no problem buying top of the line equiptment if its worth the $$$
After using cheap rain gear for a few years I recently upgraded to Gamehide Typhoon, but have not had chance to use it yet. Here is a review of the typhoon rain gear. I have also been using insulated Cabelas Guidewear since last fall and this ice season. The Guidewear has been 100% waterproof and is very durable.
I bought a Gamehide jacket from Everts last winter I think, this past summer on Cass Lake, I got caught in a rainstorm that Noah could have floated his ark in, perfectly dry. Gamehide check it out 
I wear my Gamehide Typhoon year round. Like it so much, when they recently had a sale, I picked up a second complete set. Going on two years with the current set and they still functioning like brand new.
Cabelas guidewear for me. I have been very impressed with its durability, as well as staying dry.
I have Cabela’s Guidewear and Gamehide Typhoon rain gear. I would recommend both. 
Gamehide has a great fit. I don’t feel restricted in it like I have other gear.
to date I have NEVER been disapointed by most any Gore-Tex gear. It just works the way it is supposed to.

I just got back from 3 days of fishing steelhead on the Oregon coastal streams. We had everything from heavy rain to heavy snow. I had just picked up a set of Gamehide Typhoon rain gear over the winter and this was the first chance I had to field test the jacket. Excellent product. Kept me dry, kept the wind out, didn’t feel at all bulky, and when I would get hot from climbing up and down canyons to get to the streams, the venting on the jacket did its job perfect and I didn’t get sweaty. Best raingear I’ve worn for fishing.
gamehide if it is above 40
below 40= snosuit!
Guidewear or Gamehide.
Wasn’t Gamehide Typhoon rain gear discontinuied this fall?

I thought that was the case. I know they had some quantity of stock remaining but I’m not aware of what might or might not be out there in the pipeline with retailers.

They still have them listed on their website.
Cabela’s Guidewear for sure…
I am a Cabela’s Guideware guy too, but the gamehide is nice too, and when they closed them out this last fall, I felt like a stole a pair at the price they were selling them at. I’ll try them this summer…LOL

I had the Cabelas 100mph Guidewear…great except for two issues…zipper sticking and stiff in the shoulders/armpits.
The Gamehide has more feedom of movement and really built tough!
Luke…you gotta grow more body mass son! 
I wear my typhoon parka down to zero with just a coupe layers underneath! 
Guidewear hands down, I own both & my gamehide is not comparable to the guidewear.
Those southern boys are a bit soft Tom. I wear my Typhoon all winter. However, I do plan to get a Snosuit next year. Anything below zero and I will get cold when just sitting or minimal hole hopping.
Ask James how tough the Gamehide Typhoon is against a VERY HOT LIGHT. 
I will say they both (Gamehide and Guidewear) do an excellent job of keeping you dry. One just does it while; keeping you more comfortable, allowing you to move easier with the “Freedom Sleeve” and breathes way better then the other which keeps you cooler on warmer days. That is why I choose to wear Gamehide’s Typhoon Rain Gear.

Young Rob smoldered a little but he wouldn’t stay lit!
And when he was done leaning on the 5600k studio light you couldn’t find a mark on the suit. Good stuff. I still wear mine 3 years after the initial purchase and it is in perfect shape.
The light actually stuck/adhered itself to the Suit, but did not leave a mark. 
Who puts studio lights in a boat where I release fish anyways.
The following are Gamehide Dealers in NE. I’m not sure if they carry Typhoon, but you could call and ask!

I currently wear some cheap rain gear from cabelas. I will soon be upgrading to top of the line rain gear. I will be buying the cabelas guidewear. I have heard very good things about this rain gear.
if you try guidewear you’ll never look for anything better again.
I kinda like the GuidePro series from Bass Pro. I just hate wearing something with “Bass Pro” plastered all over it though. Especially their 100mph series. I’d feel like a stinking billboard wearing that. the Cabelas Guidewear looks nice too, but I think I’d get too warm in it during the summer months.
cabelas guidewear – uninsulated
