With spring and summer upon us, that means RAIN!!!
For those of you that fish in the rain, what are some light weight rain jackets that you wear to keep dry but NOT hot in the summer months?
Any that are inexpensive but good enough quality?

For cheap, I usually buy when the seasons over, can't beat the 'make way for the next season items' price

For cheap, just buy a poncho at Walmarts. I carry one and it works just fine for a surprise rain.
If you actually plan to fish in the rain, you need something much more substantial. I recommend
Cabels's Guideware.

Speaking of Froggtoggs, this is the one I got and I'm sure others are mentioning maybe?
http://www.froggtogg...atureSuits.shtm
They work fine just their not breathable like they say. I burn up in mine, lol. But if do get one remember to always button up as well. If order online go an extra size or 2. The jacket if not changed are short in the arms and to the waist.
I know our local walmart carries I think the full suit.

Cheap raingear leaks.
Is "basstiality" the same as sleeping with the fishes?

Has anyone tried these jackets by Frog Toggs?
http://www.basspro.c...05011916/290161
I was looking at the BPS version and a lot of the reviews mentioned that it starts peeling and isn't meant for long term......anyone else have those issues?

I have a pair of REI rain pants that are lightweight and the bottom half zips off and converts to shorts if it stops raining or you are too hot. I just wear a light rain jacket that packs into a small bag when it stops raining.
