Nelson's in Gloucester can't be beat.
I have the grundens jacket, Might even be the knock off, it's nice for heavy rain.
For drizzles I just wear the sou'wester hat. Stylish and functional

Which Frogg Toggs have you been using, Paul? I have the Toadz pants and jacket and really like them. Much more well built than the really light weight stuff they make.

I used to have those. The Toadz are much better quality. Check them out on the FT website.

I actually got some closeout Cabela's heavy duty pants that are thick like Grundens, and I got them for like $30 on clearance. They're awesome but hot in summer. When it's hot, I just wear shorts and the white boots.

paul, check out the Guide grade stuff from Cabelas. Pricey but worth it in my opinion. I have had the bibs for 7 years and they have kept me dry and warm. Think they cost me $225

I also have some Cabelas Guide wear Gore-Tex bibs and jacket. Very dry and light weight. Very comfortable. They fold up very small when not in use.

I can't recommend the Simms Paclite jacket enough. Super light, fully breathable, saltwater safe (zippers) and keeps me fully dry. I got the 2011 model new off eBay last year for $70.

Checkout Cabelas online. They've got a bunch of different options right now on Closeout. The Caribou Creek Goretx paclite jacket @ $50 looks pretty decent.

even though it looks perfect
i'm thinking of returning them
they're just too "new"
to be F-ing up so soon
for as little as i used them.
i wonder if they'll let me do it?

The mailman just brought my new Cabelas parka. It is almost weightless, stuffs into a tiny bag, has velcro tightenable cuffs and a nice hood. It is a funky light green.
I am 6 feeet tall and weigh a little over 200 pounds. These are only available in Extra large. Perfect for me allowing room for a couple of sweatshirts if I need them

SUND 763 since 2005 cost $75 at store with other grundens. It was the least expense as compared to other stores at that time and likely still is now.
Tip: wash and dry jacket per instructions then spray with armoural it looks brand new even better and also makes the pvc material soft because the salt and sun stiffen over time.

Been using Guy Cotten stuff as its local to me and they make a great product.
Used their surf top for foul whether gear but picked up a smock a while back as it was lighter. Great for the price.
Also, For being completely waterproof and breathable a Patagonia shell can't be beat. Life time warranty as well.
