Well I drove the two hours to the Tri Cities area of Tennessee to Cabela's and purchased some some Guidewear.  I've been hunting golf balls for the last couple months to fund these and found a buyer so I called the store and it sounded like they had one set....they did....whew...was lucky and glad I went as my size had changed a bit.  Had previously owed a pair and wore them out....(back when they were green)  Can hardly wait for fishing in the rain again...stuff I have now leaves me with a wet butt and shoulders....not good when you want to fish all day and a being a bit older the cold can set in faster.  Took me four hours plus to get home due to accidents on the highway....but it's done!!  They've come a long way in the design...sorry...long winded...wanted to share.

Thanks for the updates.

 

You are correct: Fishing in the rain is OK. Fishing in cold weather is not.

 

Enjoy the rain gear and let us know how it performs.

I'm on my second set and I think they are the best. Enjoy them & stay warm & dry. 

Guidewear is good stuff Oregon native, and nothing like being warm and dry when it’s cold and rainy. I’ve had mine Guidewear for over 10 years and seasonally spray it with a water repellent treatment. Some good shoes to keep your feet warm and dry and you’re set.

 

Good luck out there, JB 

Update.....well since purchasing said product we seem to be getting warm/rainless weather again here in east Tenn.  Pretty though....

Easily solved problem. Just go out and wash your car, hang clothes on the clothesline, have a picnic, or water your lawn. It will rain buckets. Trust me.
