    I’m looking to buy some new rain bibs and was wondering if anyone on here has any first hand experience with any of the ones I’m interested in. I can’t seem to make up my mind between the Simms Pro Dry, Frabill f4, or Stormr fusion. I know Simms has excellent customer service if anything happens to them. Which is a nice peace of mind considering the price. But I also really like the idea of some knee padding like the Frabill bibs. Finally, I can get a smokin deal on some Stormr fusion’s but I don’t know much about them, and they haven’t been around very long. Gotta be decent for winning an Icast award?

    Anyone have any recommendations on any of these 3?

    I love my frabill suit. Used it in the downpour last weekend and couldn’t be happier.

    spent a good amount of time reviewing rain gear for a big purchase this year. my decision came down to cabelas guidewear and the bass pro shops 100 mph or pro qualifier. I went with the pro qualifier because it was lighter making it more applicable for all weather with layering, and it was on sale. So far i love the suit! its windproof and waterproof and has some nice features that add to its comfort. you do not mention either of these options so not sure how much this information will interest you. when i was looking i was intrigued by the newer frabill rain suits but with them being new and harder to find reviews i went with a proven commodity. if you are in the price range for Simms (thats funny money!) than might as well get those as its apparently the best

    Hard to beat anything Simms puts out.

    I have a set of Cabelas guide wear that is 15 years old and still going strong. It is heavy so I only use it spring and fall but it keeps you DRY in any weather. A friend of mine has the frabill green suit. Only had it 2 years but he loves it.
