Default Need some ideas for waterproof gear..

Im tired of ditching clothes (jeans etc) because i get them covered in mud.I want a nice set of bibs that will keep me dry and warm(but not sweating bullets) that I can just hose off when im done and if there over 100 bucks they better last a couple of years.
Thanks
Mike C

Get you some Boot foot chest Waders & a rain Proof Jacket at your local Academy or Walmart. Wear your clean Duds under them or store them in a Ziplock bag until you are Hosed down.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

What i have is Frogg Toggs rainwear. super light weight & breathable. >> http://www.froggtoggs.com/catalog%20page.html << I have the jacket and bibb set " PA109" , you can get them at bass pro shops or just about any good bait shop. They almost feel like paper but don't let that make you think thay are cheap, I've been wearing this set for 4 years now and no rips/tears.... definately worth the $... The only drawback is because they are rainwear not waders, when you get off your ATV in mud or water you will get wet feet!

Definitely Frogg Toggs..... got about four sets myself. Coupla weeks ago I was ruding in the woods and caught a thorn twig that ripped my hand off the handlebar. I thot, Ooh oh! Now I lost a Frogg jacket. Nope, just a little tear hardly visible.

Best kinda rain gear. Have two sets in my Gold Wing for me and S.O. One set in the Prairie bags. One set in the house for those days....

Anyway, not heavy. Excellent wind break. Totally mud & water proof. Let the mud dry and shake it off.

Golf pro shops have them. Bike shops have them. Bait shops have them. Sports Outdoorsman shops have them...... best thing going... absolutely.

Frogg Toggs....

Ive tried a few of the MX/ATV name brand products and just felt when it comes to extreme weather conditions they just dont hold up all that well. And even those you dont look the part, Some of the Cabela's, Bass Pro, etc. style hunters wear keeps you warm and dry the best! I picked up a pair of black/tan GORTEX over alls at Cabela's and they where under 100 bucks! And better then Any MX/ATV Brand I've used. Its also a good idea to get yourself a good Waterproof fabric treatment like NIKWAX and use it on all your gear. ~coop

Hello Cavaselis. My wife and I always carry Sterns Rainsuits on her back rack. If it stars to rain or gets muddy, we put them on over whatever we are wearing. Some of my pics show her in her rainsuit.
I hope this helps you.
