Looking to replace my current 100 mph suit as it appears to be discontinued. I prefer to pay for a quality suit that has some longevity. I was please with my 100 mph suits and those were the only ones I ever wore, so I’m looking for something equal or improved. The weight of the 100mph suit was perfect, I do not want something that is heavier or insulated. Thank you for reading and your input!
Although costly the Simms Pro dry is as good as it gets.

Look into back country/hiking rain gear. Light weight, easier to move around in, more breathable, packable, more comfortable, cheaper, and imo more “waterproof”.
Never understood the need/desire of wanting a full bib suit like you’re going crab fishing to go bass fishing especially when it’s above 45 outside..
+1 Love mineQuote:

SIMMS Pro Dry best
Simms .
I think SIMMS clothing made in China - hopefully can find some still in US
Just don't waste your money on Whitewater. I picked up a set late last season becasue of their buy the bibs and get the jacket free deal. Now I know what they were trying to give them away. Never been wetter from an all day rain.
Very happy with my Gill tournament jacket and bibs!
Didn't someone post a link with breathable hiking and fishing gear a few months back?

Curious…price range?Quote:

My only fear fishing in them is hooks because I hunt in them as well.
About the same as Simms pro dry, maybe a little more. Another good brand to check out.Quote:

I have one of the first suits they ever made for bass anglers. It is around 15 years old and is just now showing some age.Quote:
