Best Fishing RainCoat

[74mph]

I've been looking to replace my rain gear for next season but I'm having a hard time finding something that I think I will like. I've got a couple of good rainpants that I like but the Rain coat is realy what I am after.

What rain coat do you guys recommend for fishing? Has anyone tried the new underarmor coat?

In cooler weather I use Cabelas Guideware. Very satisfied with it. In warm weather I use Frogg Toggs. Light breathable easy to pack in storage etc.

I have a 3 year old UnderArmour set that I really like since you asked. Not the most breathable suit though (at least my model). It was a gift, so I'm not sure what other options were out there, but the thing sure as heck keeps me bone dry unless I'm sweating in it. Very impressed. Oh, and the durability is quite nice so far.

Cabelas Guidewear for sure

I just picked up a new set of Cabelas gore-tex guidewear for next year. I have tried some cheaper brands in the past and all I can tell you is that you get what you pay for. I would definitely try to get something that is gore-tex though. The big C store has the guidewear 1/2 off right now which is the cheapest you will ever find rain gear like this for.

I have had a Filson rain coat for going on 10 years and it will probably last me the rest of my life. As someone earlier said - you get what you pay for. It has a little bulk to it - so if you are looking for very light weight, this may not be it. But very comfortable in all but very warm days.

I have guidewear and it is great...but often it is simply too heavy or bulky feeling so I prefer to go with the cabelas goretex or any goretex shell jacket (I have Cabelas since it was only 99 on sale) that can store easily in a tiny stuff sack but keeps me completely dry when I need it. Also easy to put in my tackle bag and have it whenever I need it - especially when fishing in someone else's boat and limited storage for me.

Thanks for all of the responses - you guys are great! I have looked briefly at Cableas but I dont think that I have seen these yet. Does anyone know of specific models that are good for summer? Are they even selling them right now in the off season? I see several insulated versions online right now.

I dont mind a little bulk. I am currently using a Stearns which is a little bulkier, but I like the toughness. Only problem with it is that the bottom of the pockets are blown out and there is a torn seem. So bottom line tough material doesnt equal tough construction.

Ill check out the ones you guys have suggested. Thanks for the help.

Cabelas guidewear x300 regular (non-insulated) is what you want to look for.

[Superduty]

Cabelas Guidewear for sure

If you can get Guidewear at 1/2 price it's a no brainer! Best raingear I have ever owned.

[Raider4ever]

It's half-price but only for limited sizes according to the Big C HSOforum.

Another ote for Guide Wear, love mine and have uded it hard summer and winter last 5 years and still going strong...

[Larson15]

Just looked on the HSOforum and see all sizes available

If you can wait, shop at the sportshow, or watch for closeouts at C or GM for year end model clearances. There always some good deals at the show on rain wear, and sometimes you can negotiate the price. Saw underarmour at the last show as a set at a really good price, but the fit didn't feel right for me. I bought 2 onyx rain jackets and got a better deal than advertised because I bought 2.

Army surplus poncho. Easy on easy off. You can keep your boat seat dry too.

[pureinsanity]

Frog Toggs. I got them extra big so I can layer if I want to. I can put on my carharts and still get this suit over everything.
