I just got a summer sale catalog from Cabela's with lots of waterproof clothing, parkas, jackets, bibs, and pants. "Boat" colors and camo patterns.

Go the Cabelas route, Slick. They are a little more spendy than the grocery bag thin cheap ones, but you'll have them for a long time. The Signature series rainwear is a little less expensive than the Guide Wear, and lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts, well you get the picture.
No matter what you do, don't do the the Bass Pro Shop thing, their best stuff doesn't even come close.

The Cabela's Summer Sale catalogue mentioned above has discontinued colors ( Grey, navy and red/blue) of Guide Wear for $290. This is the best on the market. You won't go wrong with Guide Wear. LOL Fred

I just got Cabela's Signature rain gear and used it for the first time this weekend. Kept me dry and fits great. I am very happy with it. They had discontinued colors for about $180 (parka and bibs). Good fishin'

I have the Cabela's guide wear. It is a very good rain suit. Check it out on line, or in their catalog.
