Can someone recommend me a rain jacket, goretex or similar, that has sleeve cuffs that keep the water from running down your forearm and soaking your undershirt? I think the BPS 100mph jacket has tight cuffs, but I’m curious of other people’s experience.
I own the BP 100mph suit and have experienced leaking around the cuffs. Nothing beats those cold October/November outings when its cold and raining and you raise you arm to clear stuff from the tip of your rod and get a refreshing splash in your underarm!

My 100mph suit keeps me dry.

Another vote for 100MPH suit. Had mine for 5 years and still going strong!

You can wear sweatbands around your wrists inside your rain suit. The moisture that gets through the rain suit cuffs will get soaked up in the sweatbands instead of running down your arms/sleeve. The sweatbands will eventually get pretty wet, but that's better than getting your entire arm/sleeve wet.
Frog Toggs with Velcro wrist closure works for me.
Bass Pro - Pro Qualifier suit is great. Nothing runs down the sleeve. Prefer it over the 100MPH.

My bps rain jacket has inner neoprene type material cuffs that fit tightly around the wrist.
My Guide Series has cuffs to keep the rain out.

I carry three or four pairs of wrist bands. When one gets soaked, put on another pair. Store them in the jacket pockets. Works for me.
The wrist band thing is a good idea! I might need to try that.
can anyone tell me about the cuffs on the older style Simms ProDry? (The one with the clear watch viewer on the wrist)
Gill FG2. Adjustable inner cuff, and I like the hood.
I’ve been much happier with it than my 100mph jacket.

Gill makes a great rain suit. Several of the jackets have inner seals at the wrist to keep the water from running down your arms.
I have a Carhartt, the cuffs seem pretty tight on it. Very breathable. I wear a hoodless sweatshirt under it when it's cool.

Got it finally! Pictures soon to come...
100 MPH suit...damn thing is so tight around my wrist I'm thinking about cutting it. Cuts of the circulation to my fingers. If you want a tight cuff buy a 100 MPH suit
GILL FG21 Tournament Grade. Best I have ever owned. Has adjustable rubber lined cuffs with an adjustable outer cuff. You can also run 70 mph with hood and face flap closed comfortably.
My 100 mph suit leaks like a faucet around the cuffs.
