Here is the info
from Ann
Schauman:
Last yr I order a pr of Frogg Toggs, which
construction workers and linemen wear. Got a men's small for me. The
jacket was a bit tighter than I would have liked, and the zipper ended up
breaking by fall. Still there were snaps so I continued to use it...and
use it I did! Frogg Toggs are incredible! Made out of the same stuff
Wegmans shopping bags are made out of...well the black ones, ie. They are
light weight and STURDY! No rips or tears in mine and I used it alot.
It never soaked through even if I was out in the rain all day. Dried
fast and they are washable too. You can find them online and sometimes
Sierra Trading has deals on them. I paid about $20 for a new complete
rainsuit for this yr at Sierra Trading. There are womens and mens sizes at
Frogg Toggs. I don't think they come in bibs tho... only pants and
a jacket. Check them out!
So I went to their
website. There are rain suits. I did find some bibbies, but they come with
jackets, $50. http://www.froggtoggsoutlet.com/frtoproanbsu.html
I emailed them
asking about just bibbies.
So I checked the
Gemplers site. Guess the Frogg Toggs price isn't so bad afterall: http://www.gemplers.com/rain-bibs
The http://www.gemplers.com/product/127679/Helly-Hansen-A-Series-Rain-Bibs#TAB-REVIEWS is
$31 when you buy 3 or more and has 2 good reviews saying they were purchased for
crews and have lasted. But still, $31/person is a lot for a veg
crew.
