Everyone knows that the Best Lightweight Rain Gear For Fishing is very important for when the day looks a little ominous, or even to have on hand just in case of a surprise shower. We’ve been out on the water in downpours, and on the shore when it’s spritzing, and without the right gear we can’t stay as long. No one likes being wet in the wind. In order to enjoy oneself fishing, it’s important to be prepared to be dry.
While we do our best to plan our trips, we can’t plan the weather, only plan for it. We have compiled a list of what we think are the best options to mitigate the threat of bad weather.
We will look at different options for different budgets. If you want to be able to fish year round, and in any condition, you need to find options for all types of wet weather, cold or hot.
Top Rated Rain Suits for Fishing
Frogg Toggs Ultra-Lite2 Water-Resistant Breathable Rain Suit
This waterproof Ultra-Lite rain suit includes the jacket and pant as pictured. The jacket has a nice adjustable hood with cord locks, so you can make sure your hood is secured even in strong winds. The jacket also has a full front zipper with a storm flap to keep the water from seeping through the zipper. The pants have a elastic waist along with a straight leg design. You also get a nice stuff sack to keep your gear stowed away when it’s not raining.
While this rain suit is lightweight, it may not be as durable as the other options, which is fine as it’s a low cost option that should any rips or tears occur, you can buy another one. I like to keep this stowed away for those times when a surprise shower kicks up, but is not my main choice for when I know the weather will be bad.
Coleman PVC/Nylon Rain Suit
This Coleman PVC/Nylon Rain suit is waterproof and durable. Made with 20mm PVC with nylon lining, it also boasts a drawcord adjustable hood and cuffs, with both the leg openings and waist being adjustable. There is a storage bag that comes with to easily store this rain suit. Unlike the Fogg Toggs suit above this rain suit does have jacket pockets on the exterior, which does come in handy.
The knees on the pants are articulated, so you will have a good range of motion, and we like the fact that the pant cuffs have a zipper closure and snap adjustment, to make it easy to pull over boots and keep in place.
I also wear glasses so I found it nice that the hood has a little visor which keeps the rain off. This is a stylish rain suit that will keep you dry.
Navis Marine Offshore Sailing Jacket Bib Pants
This Navis Marine Offshore Sailing Jacket is a full featured stylish jacket and bib combo that will keep you dry. It’s windproof and waterproof in a breathable shell, so when you sweat, the jacket will allow it to evaporate.
The jacket and pants also have reflective elements to keep you visible in low light. The bib is adjustable in the shoulders and waist to provide for a tailored fit, and the ankles have a velcro close to help you adjust your cuffs over your boots.
This jacket and bib pants combo is perfect for fishing, or really anywhere you want to be in foul weather. There are also plenty of pockets, 4 pockets even are half lined with fleece to keep your hands warm.
Navis Marine Coastal Sailing Jacket with Bib Pants
The Navis Marine Coastal Sailing jacket differs a little from the Navis Marine Offshore in that the Coastal will not have the fleece lined pockets. Both are wind and waterproof and have reflective elements to aid in visibility in low light conditions. Navis makes quality rain gear and the coastal is no exception. This is the lower cost item in comparison to the Navis offshore. You can’t go wrong with a Navis
