I have three sets of rain gear.  Light, Medium, and Heavy.  The light gear is BPS's Redhead suit.  I wear it most often because it stores very compactly, so I can pack it in my tackle bag.  I've worn it as needed for about five years with no issues whatsoever.  The second suit is a BPS lined Gore-Tex suit.  I seldom wear it, but it works well at temperatures above freezing.  My third suit is Cabella's Guidewear, which I bought on sale at 50% off.  That outfit is awesome when used at temperatures below freezing.

I have a BPS 100MPH suit and have previously had a Cabela's Guidewear suit. If I had it to do over again, I'd have never bought the BPS suit. It's pretty nice don't get me wrong about that, but the zippers are terrible and the stitching comes out all over the place. I thought it was a fluke the first time when I had a cuff coming off and my suit wouldn't zip up. I returned it and for a new one and now have the same issues with this one. For the price they want for them, it's not worth it to me. My next suit will probably be one of the H2O suits from Academy. They look very similar but cost 1/3 the price and Academy stands behind their gear. 

Have had guide wear for probably 15 years and have been really happy.  But it did start to loose it's waterproofness.  Still good but not great.  Gave suit to a fishing partner and he's going to try that stuff from Rustoleum and see if he can get a few more years from it.  Think it's called "Neverwet"

this really has me second guessing getting the 100MPH suit now...

Keep in mind I fish a lot and wear it during my winter lure hunting trips that are way more demanding than anything you'll ever do standing in a boat. I've still be disappointed with the durability of the suit but it isn't their top selling suit for no reason either, I just won't be buying another. 

First of all, thank you all for your responses and suggestions!! Secondly, has anyone had experience with the BPS 100 MPH rain suit? it seems to get good reviews, and wasn't sure how nice it was or performed?

 I have three different sets from Cabelas, from uninsulated up to a set good for sub-zero temps. All are excellent and all were bought at about half price. Guidewear is hard to beat. I got my wife a 100mph suit on sale from BPS. it is also a fine set of rain wear. The only thing I do not like about the 100mph set is the noise it makes while moving. While wearing this suit, you couldn't sneak up on a glass of water.

Frog Togg, best you can get for the best bang for your buck. Its amazing. I've sat in my kayak for 4 hours in the rain (sometimes pouring rain) and when I got back to my truck, my clothes underneath were completely dry.

Ditto!

"For the money" they are great.

Beat me to it!!! My rain gear is basic columbia jacket and bottoms, for $30 I got what I paid for I keep 90% dry Like Blue my next purchase will be the h20 from Academy 

Wow!

 

90% dry sucks 100% when it's cold.

Wow!

User error I forget to button the snap and rain drips in! When its cold i have that old beat up ski jacket on to stay warm and spray it with scotch guard I just realized I am cheaper than my dad LOL !

The 100mph line are great fitting for my fat behind and beer belly.

My current rain gear is Columbia's foul weather gear (retail is about $300-$350 for bibs and jacket). However, Under Armour is

coming out with some new rain gear (I think they said it would be on their website in February) that I am excited to try.

I have Cabela's Guide Wear. They do cost to much so you remember to take real good care of them. Nothing worse then a cold rainy day and your wet. Been there done that to many times. I always have mine in the boat, always.

Does anyone know if the Cabelas or BPS suits come with a warranty of any type?
