NW003 Marine Workwear Rain Suit - Waterproof 3-Piece Set

I absolutely love my rain suit. I can tell it is so carefully manufactured and designed. I wanted a rain suit that would keep me dry in a monsoon. I really think this will do it. Unlike many rain suits, this feels like it has some type of rubber base that would really keep you dry and would STAY waterproof. There are snaps that cover the zipper that would keep water from intruding at the zipper level. And the “bib overall style” allows water protection over your abdomen, combined with the zipper that goes all the way up to your chin and a hood that pulls tight that basically will only allow water to hit part of your face. The one thing that I don’t know yet is if it will feel a little warm if it’s a warm day. I suspect it won’t be as cool as a lot of other type of jackets. But what I often worry about is being cold and wet, and I believe this rain suit will be indispensable in that case. I wish I had actually tried it out already. But there are certain products that I get that as soon as I look at them, I say to myself wow this is exactly what I had hoped it would be. And that’s where I am today. This would not be the rain suit to take with you on the Appalachian Trail because it’s a bit heavy to put on a long journey, but especially if you’re on the ocean or a cool or cold, wet adventure I think this would be the gear that I would wanna make sure stayed close by.

I can't speak to durability but after using the suit in an hour+ rain that at times was a downpour, I had a good result. Stayed dry. Wasn't sweaty/clammy (temp about 65) and it was easy enough for me to work with outdoor tools (shovel, grub-ax, etc. The material is fairly light so not tiring to work in. I chose the large size and am about 6 ft and 165lbs. With the bulk of the bibs over jeans, jacket was a good match. Not too loose nor snug. Bibs fit fine as well but I was probably close to making the shoulder straps as small as possible to bring the length up a bit. The bib straps stayed on my shoulders without slipping off and were comfortable. Hood was of generous size and worked well. So overall, very happy with them for the money.

I am 51 and have own rain gear for all types of situations.. from daily walking, working construction to working on fishing/crab boats in Alaska..

Heavy rain and fishing boats these are not the set.. you need a set that has no pockets and is heavy..

MIDDLE GRADE is what these are.. a little heavy, has great pockets and one on the bibs that you don't see.. removable hood, so you can wear a "duck bill" rain cap for a cap.. then you vision is not limited to a hood..

light rain gear, walk in the park types..

if I had to judge out of all the middle class rain gear, this pair stands alone..

This is a high-quality really nice rain suit. I wanted to add for people concerned about sizing. I am 6 feet tall and 190 pounds. I bought the extra large and it fits perfectly. I like loose and comfortable.

I've been using this set of rain gear as a mariner for about 5 years now and it's still working great. High quality material, completely waterproof and has lasted through years of rough working conditions.
