Foul weather gear

[Peanut]

Not winter gear.. I need new outwear for hurricane season. My last rain coat was pretty good but it's a step away from cracking, leaking etc. Got it at tsc 7/8yrs ago. Looked last week, didn't like any of their new stuff. Felt cheap so i passed. I've been in several hurricanes and expect to again. I want something i can wear out when it blows. Pair of bibs would be nice also.

Any fishermen know of good brands or online stores to get seafaring type weather gear?

Helly Hanson has been the go to rain gear for commercial fishermen for as long as I can remember. I’ve been out of the business for so long there may be something better. I always had the bib coverall and a mid length jacket. The jacket was open except in the worst conditions to allow heat and moisture to escape. A sheath knife was tied upside down on my left suspender to give me half a chance to cut myself free should I get caught by some net or a hook while we let out gear. You don’t let out gear at slow speed so you only have seconds.

Bass Pro/Cabela's has a pretty good line of bibs, coats for pro fishermen. Its GoreTex, which I highly recommend. Most waterproof/breathable material i have ever found

I have a few sets of Carhartt C67 rain gear. Has lasted me years.
They don't sell the C67 anymore. Looks like it's been replaced with "storm defender" or "rain defender" product lines.

So far I checked tsc and amerzit. The heavy gear I saw only comes in bright yellow. Great... might end up looking like big bird. I don't want gear that makes me a good target.

My rain gear is from Grundens. It came from a sporting goods store a little north of Hampstead, NC.

I’ve always used the dark green, but that was all that was available when I was fishing.

Every time I go on a charter fishing trip all the crew wears Grundens.
Every commercial fisherman I see are wearing Grundens.

I went to town this afternoon. Stopped by the Ervin's store which has decent work clothes, mostly carhart brand. They only had 2 rain jackets to choose from. Quality looked about 1 step up from wally's.

My rain gear is Columbia Sportswear. I bought it several years ago, but it has been phenomenal. They sell a lot of it on Amazon. Very reasonably priced.

I agree. I did two years as "Commercial Fishermen". Hard and dangerous life.
