I’ve got a set of the “Stearns” gear. I’d give it a rating of “Pretty Good”. You can get a set at Reeds in walker for about $150. The thing I like about the Stearns suit is it is very light-weight.
I have another set of “Helly Hanson” that I really like. (That’ the suit I was wearing at check in time) A bit heaver than the Stearns stuff. Never has leaked a drop. Reinforced everywhere. They retailed for $400 in Cabela’s. Got my set for about half that in the “Bargain Cave” online.
What every you choose, get a set that has Bibs rather than Pants. Your choice for the top side. Parka or jacket. I like the parka for fishing. Also, make sure it fits right. When you try on the suit, squat to your knee and make sure your not bound up anywhere. Look to make sure the legs don’t run up your leg. A little loose is the best way to got in my opinion.
Dinosaur and I were talking rainsuits in the boat. He had a good point about his Guide Wear. If you stop at Cabela’s in Owatonna and find what you want, there is no sales tax on clothing in MN. Save shipping costs too.
