Best waterproofs suggestion

I have a decent set of rain gear I got from academy called H20 express. It is not as expensive as the basspro brand and a bit more than frog toggs. I have worn it in torrential downpours for extended period of time and it held up well. The bottoms are bibs also which makes a big difference. They are also very maneuverable and well made so they can take some abuse. Easy on and off over boots also.

That being said it is really hard to get 100% waterproof. If you are moving and strapping down loads eventually it will get down your sleeve cuffs and through zippers. However it takes awhile. I’m sure if you looked up what they were on crab boats you can get closer to 100%

 

Coleman PVC/Nylon Rain Suit from Amazon has done me well over the years. It's breathable and keeps me 90% dry.

 

I have the carhartt jacket and bibs. Ever get a drip on me

 

Work Rain Gear - Safety & Hi Vis Rain Gear | HiVis Supply

Running Canada, I noticed that workers up there have some of the best PPE. Picked up a set of raingear jacket and coveralls from this company at a local worker supply store in Edmonton. I have tested out this gear in 40mph sideways rain several times. Stayed bone dry.

 

It seems a tradeoff between keeping dry and not getting too hot. Plenty of el-cheapo products will keep you dry but you will sweat your butt off when you are out rolling up a tarp. Gortex is nice but it isn't very strong if you rub up against stuff alot.

Just cut a hole in a smoke tarp and wear it as a poncho.
