I don't know about your neck of the woods, but up in mine, we've had 5x the rain already for the entire month of March!  Yes, we have flooding too.

 

However, I'm not going to let a little spring rain ruin my fishing day.  Check out this video to see why:

 

SPAM from Mr. Glenn?! Who would've thought.  Haha, just kidding.

 

But seriously, Gore-Tex is the only water proof material/clothing I trust to be 100% water proof!

 

We had some flooding after the snow/ice melted but not a lot of rain at all here so far. Besides, I'm not gonna let a little rain stop me!

I think most outdoorsmen are HUGE fans, I have been since it first became available.

My Guideware is more than 10 years old, but it looks brand new and keeps me 100%

dry!

hmmm i might have to get that

Gor-tex is good I have a browning mossy oak shadow grass parka and pants... It's awesome stuff.. It was very pricey! But it's been used every year for 15 years . It's still like new!
