campcrafter Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Has anybody used Frogg Toggs rainwear. How do they stand up wear and tear wise? Recommend for camping or not? Thanks CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorum Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I use a generic Tyvek rainsuit, similar to FrogTogs, but a lot cheaper. The best rain gear I have ever used. Lightweight (great for backpacking!) and breathable (hate that clammy feeling). The only drawback is that the Tyvek will tear if roughly used (don't hike through thick brush). Mine got a big tear in the crotch (from sitting down too suddenly) but I repaired it with duct tape and it's just fine (but sorta funny looking). I give Tyvek rainsuits three thumbs up!

campcrafter Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thanks Trev I googled Tyvek rainwear and rain suit and really didn't come up wuth anything though. Is it just Tyvek coveralls you use or what? Where did you get it? thanks cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorum Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I picked up my rainsuit at a big-box sporting goods store for about $25. As far as I could tell, it is nearly identical to the name brand (sans a few features I could easily live without), and about half the price.
