Rain Gear

What are you guys using during matches and/or training? I need something that will last forever or at least until I get old and fat. Money is not an issue as I want to buy right and buy only once. What do you recommend?

TAD Gear.

I have their Stealth and Really REALLY like it. They just released a hardshell today that may be more what you're looking for. They ain't cheap tho the quality is top notch.

ETA:: GEEZ!!! I got the e-mail they released the hardshell and just checkout out the price. There's no way I would ever spend THAT much on jacket.

The Raptor Jacket is a little better priced and the only difference I can tell between it and the Specter is the Specter looks to have a couple more pockets.

If you don't want to spend a fortune and want something lightweight and portable that won't weigh you down, Frogg Toggs work pretty well.

Ditto.

I've had pretty good luck with some of the "house brand" stuff at Bass Pro.
And gore-tex is the shiznit! And it can get pricey too but you can find some
affordable stuff if you look.

I rush ordered a pair of Frogg Toggs form this place. www.thegearlessmachine.com. I not only didn;t get it next day I still haven't got it. So now I am calling my credit card company tomorrow to dispute the charge. I found out Academy sells this stuff too so I will go buy it local.

Somebody said Academy carried this stuff. Any truth to that?

Yup, on Academy. My wife and I have Frog Togg suits from there. It's good stuff for occasional use. Wouldn't expect it would wear well in extreme or heavy duty uses though.
