Good Rain Gear, Not for Rugged Conditions However
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 moveableCons:-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.

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.

Lightweight, but can tear easily
We've had a lot of rain this winter (2023-2024) in Northern CA, and I got this to work outdoors. The set has been absolutely great. Lightweight, and I never felt like I was getting too hot, or too sweaty like when wearing a standard raincoat. If you are putting the pants on over your pants and don't take your shoes off, the pants can easily tear. Just something to keep in mind. But boy are these comfortable!

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.

Compact
Easy to use and putting back after each use is so easy since it’s easily foldable and the storage pack is also a good size
