Couldn't agree more with the breathability. Also, not all breathables breath the same amount. Gortex is still the standard but there are others that perform well.

Someone let me know why the neoprene cuffs. Is it to keep rain from running down your arm while casting?


Panfisha - I have Gortex, dry plus, hyvent and others but my Frog Toggs are just as waterproof and a lot cheaper. I use the original Frog Toggs. They aren't very visually appealing, it's a baggy fit and they don't have all those nice little pockets for all your gizmos. However, they're only about $40 for the jacket and pants, they breath exceptionally well and are very packable. They do feel flismy (like paper) to the touch but they've proven to be as tough as my other lightweight jackets. I use them for fishing, hunting & cycling. The pricier jackets have a lot of nice features but you can't spend all your beer (or should I say book) money on gear.
