It's suppose to rain this weekend at the Michigan football game and I'm wondering whether to take my heavier GoreTex outfit, the lighter weight golf rain suit, or some Frogg Toggs I got on sale awhile back just to keep in the truck.
I haven't worn them yet and although they seem noisy, I'm just wondering if they'll actually keep me dry? Thanks.

They work fine like for a football game but for hunting they rip very easy

Yes they'll keep you dry. They're cheap and noisy but I doubt that matters at a ball game. Have fun

I'll agree with the above. That's how I use mine: football games.

Emergency use only. Cheap but they do work when you need them. Not a long term solution for rain gear
