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!
