rain jackets

[PaFly]

Has anybody gotten a rain jacket from Bass Pro? I have a gift card and need a rain jacket for fishing and work. Any recomendations?

PaFly,

BPS used to carry the Hodgeman wading jacket. I bought one about 2 years ago, and I really like it. I use it as a rain jacket pretty frequently. At that time, they were about $100. Check them out.

I have one from Cabelas. Bass Pro has some nice ones. Just make sure it has Goretex in it or you will regret it when you get heavy rain.

thx for the help

PaFly;
I have a Hodgman "Lakestream" that came with a removable mesh vest. Works nice for those cool mornings or evenings and you can ditch the jacket when it warms up. I did give it an extra treatment of silicone waterproofing though! It was around $80.00 then.
