Foul Weather Gear ?
I'm looking for suggestions for breathable, tough, comfortable stuff to cast all day in. Any ideas? Thanks.

After owning numerous jackets/tops etc... over the last 20+ years I have narrowed my choices down to 2 brands. For winter I only buy NorthFace jackets. For spring through fall foul weather gear I have always gone with the Helly-Hansen products. Just really high quality stuff and always really comfortable.

expensive...but well worth it. |

i too find Gor-tex not to be very good. Clogging issue. I just return them to Bean and get another pair for a year and then back again to return. A year is all I get before they get water logged. I wash them all the time and use dryer and use the additive tried ironing them all the so called remedies and still only last a few outings before they get limp and non repellent. i am ready for something new too.

Try looking for Red Ledge jackets, I know that's what I wore in Alaska as an observer, and that's what the guys on deadliest catch wear, Look for the one that is packable and light. It's called the thunderlight parka.

Grundens or Helly Hansons. Not breathable, but when its cold and the wind is blowing you don't really want breathable. Why do you have to stay dry when its warm out?
