Bass Pro Shops 100 MPH Rain Parka and Bibs

   Description: Loaded. That word aptly describes the many features found on the Bass Pro Shops 100MPH Gore-Tex raingear. For example, the parka contains: a tuck-away visored hood which also zips off, reinforced elbows, three layers of rain protection around the zipper, pull cord cinches around the waist to prevent water from entering, 5" fleece collar, neoprene cuffs on the sleeves, and more. The bibs also have: h-back suspenders, velcro to close around the ankles, reinforced knees, and more.

   Review: Bass Pro Shop's 100 MPH gear is top notch. During testing, it was used in pouring rain and never let in a single drop. We even used it during high speed runs in drenching rain - and no moisture got inside.

   Comfort is emphasized as well with this product. It is extremely breathable and light, but is also warm in cold weather. However, it is not so heavy that it cannot be used in warmer temperatures as well. This gear is also extremely durable - after analyzing both the bibs and parka for nearly 5 months, not a thread has come loose. This is an investment that will last for many years, and one which we very highly recommend.

   Using this gear correctly means no more fishing while wet, and it also guarantees that you'll be the driest fisherman on the lake, no matter what conditions you face!
