Rain gear recommendations wanted.

I wear a 12yr old LL bean jacket. Best piece of outerwear I ever bought ;) Unfortunately the latest version of the jacket, the Apex tec is not currently available. I was hoping to pick up a new one this year. Might try their goretex paclite instead. The neoprene cuffs are a godsend. And my jacket has a waist cuff that has saved me from being soaked a few times after slipping into neck deep water.....

It better be 75% off before I'll pay that kind of money Jojo. But I'll check it out. Simms lost me when their price on waders jumped $200 when I needed a pair so I went with Patagonia and love them. I have 3 different weights of coats now for fishing but only my heavy is still water tight. I guess 20 years of hard fishing can get to wear on the gear a bit, especially where I take it. ;)

Or don’t fish in the rain. I have a friend that told me that chickens have a brain smaller than your little finger nail and they know enough to stay out of the rain. Just saying....

You definitely don't know me or the trout crazies I hang with. Horizontal rain from the tail end of seasonal hurricanes is just a walk in the bush.
