Default Rain gear - H2O parka from Academy?

Looking for opinions on this $69.99 product. Can't be as good as bps or cabelas stuff but for the price and how I don't seek out rainy days to fish, I am curious. Sure I will get rained on some but I hate to spend tons of money on a parka. Anyone got it?

There are decent reviews on their web site and if you do a Google search you can get tons of information. I bought a Frogg Toggs Toad Rage jacket and really like it. Had they had the Firebelly Toadz jacket available when I bought mine I would have gone with that. Go to the Frogg Toggs web site and check out all their Toadz series jackets, you can buy direct on line.

Not sure the exact one they have for that price, but I have their Blue color H20 set (parka and bibs) and I love it. Not heavy or bulky, they breathe some so you don't sweat too horrible. Lots of pockets. For the price, I would recommend it.
I have had mine for just a tad over a year, so I can't speak on lifespan, but like you, I don't pick rainy days to fish to see if it handles lots of use and abuse.

I have the h2o bib and jacket set and love them. I recommend them. Can't beat the price or quality. Kept me warm and dry so far.
