FROGG TOGGS Men's All Sport Rain Suit Rainwear (pack of 2)

In oktober gekocht maar pas in december aangetrokken omdat het regenseizoen toen begon. Ik fiets dagelijks en met dit nieuwe klimaat in Nederland moet ik ook dagelijks het regenpak aantrekken. Nu na twee maanden is de broek al lek. Jas is nog oke, behalve bij de polsen. Daar is ook alles doorgelekt maar dat is minder erg. Dat de broek water doorlaat na zo'n korte tijd gebruiken is echt balen.

Bought as a gift for my brother in-law. Great quality, good material and he said the fit was great too. Perfect for the outdoorsy man.

Most important thing: all the reviews saying these run large are correct. They're meant to be worn over clothes. I'm 6' 6" and 300 lbs (and no, it's not all muscle :o) ). I usually wear a 36" inseam and a 38" - 40" waist, and 2XL tall in shirts. I would normally have ordered the 2XL size, but I went with XL based on comments about sizing. XL turned out to be a nearly perfect fit. Fit: ~ The length of the pant legs is perfect. The waist-band is elastic with a draw-string, which I don't need because they're a snug (but not tight) fit. There are narrow velcro straps at the ankles to adjust the fit, which is great for bicycling. ~ The coat is almost as good a fit as the pants, but it could be just a skotch longer. Not a real problem, just a preference. The bottom of the coat also has a draw-string to help with the fit. The arms are just about the perfect length. ~ The hood is very large, possibly too large, especially if you're facing into the wind and not using the draw-strings to cinch it tight. It will fit most of the way over my bicycle helmet (and I have a large head, thus a large helmet). It's detachable. Construction: ~ There are no pockets on either the coat or pants. ~ The material really is like a reusable shopping back, but not at all flimsy. I don't think you'd have a problem with tearing unless you wear it around brambles or scrap metal or other snaggy stuff. I can see where piling might happen, and I'm pretty sure thistles would stick to it. ~ It's super lightweight. ~ I don't think it would be very packable. The material is a bit too stiff for that, not like nylon. This is more of a hang-up or fold-up kind of rainsuit. ~ It's very breathable. Aside from the excellent fit, this is what I was most excited about. I try to bike in all weather. That could be very cold rain, sweltering rain, or snow, depending on the season. Yesterday I rode in the rain both to and from work. It was around 40F (4C) in the morning and 50F (10C) in the evening, and it was very windy. I wore a short-sleeved button-up shirt and khakis underneath. I could feel the air moving against my skin and it kept me cool, but not too cool, and it kept the rain out 100%.

Keeps you dry, it’s very course and not pliable

Got these for an ocean fishing trip. They worked great and held up beyond what i had been led to expect from reviewers. The material is kinda strange, maybe sorta like very heavy duty tyvek? It had lots of folds and wrinkles but kept me dry and warm (wore them over jeans and a sweatshirt.) I used their sizing chart and ordered wnat they reccomended, and the fit was just fine. I hung these out to air rather than throwing them in the dryer, and the fish smell was gone in 3 days. I expect to get more use out of these, to my surprise; as i was expecting a one-time use from the price. I did miss the pockets in the jacket, but the elastic waistband let me reach inside to the jeans- just a learning curve.....
