Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game frogg toggs

Any comments on how well it works. Sporting goods store has it on sale real cheap, as I've never used it, and was wondering if It's any good ?

I've used mine on several backpack trips and the jacket usually rides in my pack most of the season.

They work great for Idaho but may be lacking in other environments.

i tried them on in a store. i hear lots of good things but to me they seemed like the material would tear easily.

My impression is that they hold up a lot better on the golf course than they do in the woods or on the mountain.

I asked about them a while back. The consensus was that they fall apart very quickly. They can't take the brush.

"My impression is that they hold up a lot better on the golf course than they do in the woods or on the mountain."

I would look at another option. I used them on my motorcycle, but would not recomend them for hunting.

so sitting in a duck blind or tree stand they would be fine ?
how waterproof are they ? do they soak thru in short order ?

I had a set, first outing (fishing) blew up a wicked storm. I pulled the 'toggs out of my backpack and put them on and I swear I would have been drier if I'd gone ahead and jumped in the water. And the added benefit is they do tear easily. No more for me.....

have a camo set of toggs i keep in deer camp. worked OK in a light mist, but less than ideal when rain got heavy.

have some wooly briar thickets on our place, after a few trips through those in the dark to and from the deer stands, pant bottoms got somewhat shredded up to the knees and started looking like flannel, although they have not ripped yet.

The two sets my wife and I [had] shed the rain o.k. But the durability is non-existant. Mine lasted less than a year, hers anout a year. Just for fishing...

Although waterproof, they not very durable and, I wouldn't try to sneak up on anything wearing Frogg Toggs...they are really noisy!! For tree stands and motorcycle rides, they would be perfect.

Like others have mentioned I feel they're pretty light duty. For inexpensive and yet pretty darn good for most areas (not waterworld) I'd be all over the Red Ledge brand if they have them locally.

I've used mine hunting and fishing, but not running through the brush. i like them, bought them 5 yrs ago.

They seem perfect for a sunny day at the beach!

it was drizzling early on that morning.

My son and I have a pair. They work well for Boy Scout camp outs and fishing. We have used ours for three years and stayed dry during several days of non stop rain.

I don't think I would trust them to hold up to back country hunting conditions but ours have served well for the use we have.

A friend of mine bought a set to use on a fishing trip in Canada...in his opinion a waste of $$$$

I have used Toggs on two consecutive trips to the Talkeetna mountains in Alaska. Rained about 8-9 days out of ten for both trips. Frogg toggs worked about as good as anything I have used. looked a little frayed and fuzzy from the brush but did not rip or leak. This was a backpack trip not a golf outting so it got used pretty good.

Hmm, mixed reviews. I am just looking at them as cheap keep me dry while chaining up my rig up truck, or outside chain down loads. The most hunting they would see, is sitting along the river, duck hunting. I just wanna know if they'll keep me dry. They look and feel like paper, and do think they would get tore up pretty quick, but at under 30 bucks for a camo set, they're cheaper than slickers, that'll get tore up as well.
