Review on FROGG TOGGS Women's Classic All-Purpose Waterproof Breathable Rain Suit: Stay Dry in Style by Dustin Ramsey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Some details about this raincoat that you may want to know.

If you understand what you are getting with this raincoat, I think you will be satisfied. This is a very inexpensive set, but it has limitations! Think about what you want this for before you decide and make the right choice and I don't think you will be disappointed :) I chose this set because I need a light rain jacket for farm work in strong needed rain. I have a heavy rubberized jacket and pants that I wore prior to this purchase and while they keep me dry they are so heavy that they make housework a lot more difficult. Also, the heavier material doesn't breathe like Frogg Toggs so you end up sweating which is awful! Here are the pros and cons of Frogg Toggs (in my humble opinion) Pros: VERY affordable! Measurements are pretty accurate - I'm 5ft 2in, 150lbs and have a large bust with a bump and the plus size fits great with plenty of room, good sleeve length and about 4 extra inches in the pants length (I rolled them up). gives me enough room to wear sweatpants at the bottom, enough room to move around Durable Zipper - Easy to close and open, and the "handle" is large enough for easy gripping with gloves. The bottom seams are well stitched and durable. Fabric - Although this "paper" fabric may look flimsy, it's actually quite durable and best of all, it's breathable yet keeps out the rain! It's a bit stiff at first, but after wearing it for a while it softens. Cons: The fabric is quite noisy! I wouldn't recommend them if you plan to use them for something stealthy like hunting or trying to sneak up on Bigfoot! It gets better with use. Hood. I would like to see some more fabric added to this hood, especially at the bottom of the hood where it protects your face on the sides. Also, if you're wearing a baseball cap, the hood is slightly smaller to fit the brim of your hat, so you may have to pull hard on the hood to pull it forward. Might not be a problem if you have a small head but I have an average head size and I found it a little annoying :( BAGS! I know. I know. It's not an expensive set but they really should have had extra pockets - at least they might have a good reason why they don't like light fabric that might not hold up or they are trying to lower the price of the set but really... would pay an extra $10 for this set if they have you bags added! It's just really annoying having to either pull up the jacket to get to the pockets in your sweatshirt underneath, or open the jacket to get to the pockets. Adding them doesn't seem like a problem, but also this is where the price reflects What you think I really like this set overall and I'm glad I got it!For what I use it for it's great I don't know how good this fabric is of a strong bean Withstands rigors like trimming bushes, but at keeping you dry during light to moderate work, hiking, camping or walking, it's a real miracle! Hope it was useful information :)
