Simply the best value available in waterproof gear. Skeptical? Don't be. See below.
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.

Inexpensive rain gear
The product arrived just in time to use the next day. Pretty lightweight, but works well. Definitely worth the price, not really heavy-duty material, but does the job as a rain-proof she'll. *Note: no pockets

Pants tore at seam even before I went outside in the rain!!
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.

Great, if you’re not moving
Needed an affordable and rapid replacement for upcoming hike. I’ll be honest, they exceeded expectations. They survived 2 days of torrential downpours and 70+ mph winds with gusts over 100 mph. HOWEVER - they did not survive walking. The crotch seam split immediately after putting the pants on, my wives pants blew out while putting on, so we wandered around with waterproof chaps.The pants would benefit from a gusseted crotch allowing for more flexibility and mobility, as well as draw strings on the waist and on the ankles as they kept falling off and getting caught under our boots.The top held up just fine, I would love to see a waterproof zipper because the wind blows the flap open and the zipper starts to let water in. Also, it took 4-5 hours before they started to wet out. Not bad for $30. Overall I give them a 4 because the pants suck, and the zipper for the top isn’t great but the price is very accessible.Fit: I’m 6’1” 185lbs I got a medium. The top was too short in the arms and the pants were too big and long.

MUST HAVE RAIN GEAR
This is a quality item by a well know company. Was very pleased with the durability and functionality of this suit. We got it for a coworker who was rising a moped in the rain. He was so grateful. The product was waterproof and made his ride home so much easier. It is lightweight, so it provided ease of movement, which is really a necessity.

Okay but could use some tweaks
The Good: The jacket is amazing. Waterproof and keeps my shirt from getting destroyed at work when I’m cleaning with harsh chemicals. Easy to clean with a simple spray of the hose. It’s not warm but it’s roomy enough to allow you to wear an hoodie/coat underneath.The Bad: Feels like you’re wearing a trash bag. Not having pockets on the jacket itself is frustrating. The pants being so baggy is the most annoying part. They swish a lot when you walk around and mine broke during my first usage because the baggy pants got stuck on something.

works great for bad weather
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.
