Men's Ultra-Lite2 2-Layer Waterproof Breathable Rain Suit

My husband is a conductor for the Rail Road and has to get off the train in wet conditions many times. He needed a rain suit that can be carried with him in his backpack and not take up much room. I found this one by Frogg Toggs and he loves it. The price was right so I purchased it. It is very light weight and takes up minimal room in his back pack. He loves the Khaki color instead of the normal banana yellow. We ordered it in XL and it fit him perfectly over his work clothes. The last suit he had we ordered a 2XL thinking he would need the extra room since he's a XL/2XL in clothes. He's 6'0 tall and weighs about 230 lbs. and the XL fit him nicely not too tight or too loose. The quality is a little better than expected for an inexpensive suit, and the Frogg Toggs is a reputable brand. It comes in a nice bag that you can fold the suit back into when not in use. Here are the pros and cons of this set as we found them even with several cons this set still gets a slid 5 stars from us. Pros: -Great Price -Many Sizes and Colors Available -Fit Wonderfully -Very Lightweight, Great when you have minimal storage -Material is breathable and moveable Cons: -No access slits to pants underneath. -No pockets in Jacket or Pants. (Guess that's to help keep out the rain) -No zipper access for using the bathroom. -Might could use a drawstring on the pants. -The material tears easy if it gets caught but can be repaired with duct tape easily -No elastic bottoms on pants and this would be helpful. A few suggestions as this is our second rain suit purchase. Our first was Dri-Ducks by Frogg Toggs. BTW we like this set better but I digress. First suggestion. Order your size, don't order a size bigger thinking you'll need it bigger to go over your clothes. The product allows for clothing underneath in it's design. I would suggest this for yard work, dog walking, and working conditions where there’s not a lot of strenous movement. I would not suggest it for motorcycle gear. *I paid full price for this product and hope that you have found this review useful to you in some way.

since these wont be used unless its raining, i am not worried about the material lasting forever. these are not the kind of item to last years when used daily but they will be fine when used in the car for rain and can be used in the winter for wind protection and heat retention. they fit just fine as well over regular clothing so you dont need to take off clothes to wear this over it. AFTER SOME USAGE THE JACKET IS STILL IN TACT AND DOES ITS JOB, BUT THE PANTS HAVE NEARLY SPLIT IN TWO FROM JUST ONE OR TWO TIMES OF BENDING TO PICK UP SOMETHING FROM THE GROUND. THEY ARE STILL USABLE IN KEEPING THE LEGS DRY FOR NOW, BUT IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE THEY SPLIT COMPLETELY AND ARE NO LONGER DOING THEIR JOB. THEY ARE A CHEAP ITEM FOR AN EMERGENCY BUT DONT COUNT ON ANY LONG TERM USAGE.

I bought this rain suit for my husband to wear for backpacking adventures, but I have also borrowed it to take along for some of my own adventures, including a 50+ mile bike ride on a 48*F, rainy, windy day. PROS: This suit is pretty lightweight and packs relatively easily into a backpack. When folded, you could totally be kept in a day pack, school backpack, or even a larger sized handbag, which is super convenient. This rain suit offers sufficient rain and wind protection without feeling as "stuffy" as a traditional rain coat. If you're looking for an inexpensive, lightweight rain suit that can easily be thrown into your pack or handbag, this is a good choice. CONS: While this rain suit gets the job done if you need protection from rain and wind, it does lack the quality and features of more expensive rain gear. This suit isn't crap, but you do get what you pay for, so if you plan on using your rain gear very often and require something very durable, you may want to consider investing in some sturdier gear. Also, this rain suit doesn't have some of the features that more expensive ones have, such as pit zips, special pockets, etc. so if things like that matter to you, definitely invest. Also, if you're prone to splitting your pants or are doing activities where that might be a concern (biking, sliding around on rocks or snow/ice, etc.), beware that these split pretty easily! BOTTOM LINE: If you're looking for some inexpensive, packable rain gear, this is a good choice. If extra durability and special features are a concern, you may want to consider other gear.

I walk 4 miles daily, rain or shine. I purchased this a month ago. Today was a typical rainy day in early April so I decided to put the two piece suit on for my daily walk. I purchased the large size. I am trim, at 6'2" and 188 lbs. I had to take the trash out from the garage and just partially bent over to pick up bags of shredded paper for disposal and I heard the split at the seam at the seat of the pants. Please see attached photo. I could not believe it. This thing was put together with scotch tape and that is too complimentary. Since I had the suit on I decided to give it a test drive none the less. I am a fair person. The suit kept me totally dry. The pants legs were long enough to prevent my jeans underneath from getting soaked. Most of the time I walked with the head covering untied. It does get warm. Today was about 55 degrees and I had a light jacket on underneath the rain jacket. It was comfortable. Although the suit did what it was supposed to do, the tear in the pants on the FIRST day of use is totally unacceptable. It is past the 30 day period for return but I have been a customer of Amazon since 2002 and will probably get some dispensation. This rain suit is a piece of garbage. I highly recommend that you do not purchase and look elsewhere. If I could give it a rating less than "one", like minus 10, I would have.

15 years ago on a fishing/camping trip to remote Canada a good friend brought the first Frog Toggs I ever saw. Frankly we filleted and fried him over this "paper" rain gear for a week in remote Canada. She time this week it WILL rain on us out in the boat and at camp. "yer gonna get wet Jerry you cheap cuss". Swell let it suffice to say he did NOT get wet. He stayed perfectly dry. Just as dry as those of us in $350 worth of GoreTex. Remember ladies, these cost $20 for the set (Jacket & Pant) So naturally I needed a set & have had one inhan ever since. Any drawbacks/negatives ?: Yes a few. The material is NOT Tyvek, like so many have said. It feels like Tyvek in that its is like a paper permeated with something. Its a non-woven product like Tyvek. Its a little stiff when you first get it. When it wears in its less stiff & less so when in the rain. Does it work? Yes it works as well as super expensive stuff. It just says something goofy in it instead of Patagonia, North Face or Orris. And you won't be as stylish as this other apes. They also are a but more fragile. Jerry tore the arm on a sharp branch getting out of the boat. Honestly that may have occurred no matter what jacket he had one. Who knows. But frankly I've torn just about every expensive rain suit I have bought over the years. Lots of stuff to snag camping & fishing for a week. Remember this cost $20! Positives: They are $20 for a set gang. OK if you trash them the first year, but you probably won't. Maybe keep your GoreTex cause it may be more comfortable, but have a set of these too. I am 5'11" - 175 pounds and medium fits perfectly over normal amount of cloths. If you will be wearing it over other semi heavy cloths, get a size bigger. Otherwise they run a bit on the large size assuming it is over other cloths. Buy a pair a full size larger to wear over heavy winter cloths. But remember they are a bit more fragile than some other waterproof gear. But you know not as fragile as you'd think. They actually seem to wear well in the seat and knees. This Tyvek like BREATHABLE stuff is pretty tough. Tougher than you think it will be.

On my scales, size M Jacket 5.6 oz., Pants 4.2 oz., Sack 0.7 oz. This is a fly weight rain suit. Goes in my one week (or less) pack and another in the work truck. I bought this because of the AT through hiker review. I, too, through hiked the AT and understand his philosophy. However, for me, on a 6 month trip I would buy something more durable. This is perfect for lite-and-fast hikers, short trip camping/hiking insurance, tourist sight seeing trips and impromptu work in the rain events. Slightly over-sized, under layers work well, however big boots off to put the pants on. I looked closely at the photos and used some nylon repair tape to reinforce the pants where they seem to tear out at, preemptive maintenance, hope it helps in the heat of the moment when I need these. They dry quick and roll/pack up small. Worked very well here on the farm during the last rain storm (3 1/2 hr.) and the pants stayed together.

I needed a lightweight and packable rain suit for my job doing parcel delivery. Overall, I think the product is decent, and works as advertised. The prose for me are that the jacket has proven in a year's worth of use to be reasonably durable and extremely lightweight and packable. The pants have been a different story for me, as before purchase I had read reviews that the pants would split down the crotch seam from just general use. I decided to go ahead with the purchase and make up my own mind, and initially everything seemed to work well enough, but after about four uses, and trying to be reasonably gentle with the use of the pants, the seam of mine split just like everyone else's showing this that the manufacturing process for the pants at least seem to have an issue that leaves a lot to be desired with regards to durability. I still use the jacket, but the pants weren't worth salvaging so those got thrown in the trash. I'd like to see better design for the pants to ensure their durability and wouldn't mind a means to allow the bottom of the pants to be cuffed or at least form fitted around the ankles or over A rain boot to keep them from being so loose.

I used this product on a 9 week bicycling trip across the US & Canada. The product worked very well to keep the rain out, and the top was also a nice & lightweight windbreaker. In the rain, when pedaling up hill and generating body heat I sometimes got about a wet on the inside as the outside, but I stayed warm, which was more important to me. When the weather cleared up I would turn the suit inside out to let it dry on the inside. The suit sizes do seem to run a tad large. I am 5'10" and weigh 195. The large size suit fits me very well and allowed ample room for physical movement while bicycling, walking around, and sitting down. There are no pockets in the coat or pants and no slits in the pants to access inner pants pockets. The hood has a drawstring with spring loaded clips to snug it up around the face. The coat has a zipper with wind flap; I never had a problem with the zipper. There is an included carry bag; after folding up the suit and flattening it with my hand I was able to easily fit the suit back into the bag. One caveat for bicycling: I needed to put pants clips on the bottom of both legs. When riding, air would enter the bottom of the legs and inflate the suit like a balloon. It was quite entertaining for people that saw me, however, not so much fun while riding. I am doing a US, Canada, Alaska trip next summer and will definitely take this suit on that trip.
