Has anyone had any luck finding these in a store? looking to purchase some rain gear and I def want to try it on before I put down that kind of cash.
was maybe hoping bass pro or someplace might stock it but I have yet to see it in there.

also has anyone had any experience with the carhartt rain gear as of yet?

No, But DSG and Field & Stream carry Carhartt.  Maybe there's a location near you?

They never have the rain gear in the store. 

Hmmm.  They have it in several locations here, though these are huge stores.

I purchased my sons the Swiss army surplus camo rain gear. The ponchos worked well for paintball and fishing in the rain. Cheaper than dirt had them.

Looks like carheartt's website has the blue suit for 150 each on clearance (jacket and bibs)

 

I'm also struggling to get much info on them

I picked up their Shoreline bibs last year and they've been great. Carhartt makes high quality gear and it's priced quite reasonably compared to "fishing specific" companies.
