Just like you, a few sweatshirts and a nice raincoat for the fall. Works for me.

does that actually keep the water out? cause i managed to get wet alot last year. and the problem with that is it generates alot of laundry. and im a laundromat guy with a small wardrobe. i try to keep it to one fishing outfit per week. sea soaked sweat shirts are fine... till the next time you hafta wear them. so im thinking i should probably get one.

soo to zenos comment about thickness. do they generally share the same characteristics of waders? (i dont have a car so i cant go shopping and touching at will. i hate internet shopping...) i've seen some that look like they are all neoprene. i'm pretty sure i saw a gortex one.
what other materials are there and what are their characteristics?

id want something really light. basically a water proof windbreaker. that i could use "comfortably" in spring and bad summer weather. but also bundle up under it on the cold fall nights .

some of the nicer ones look like winter coats. but the lighter ones dont look very water proof.
