Default seeking advice on foul weather gear


I own some very expensive "offshore" foul weather gear and I'm just
doing protected waters. I have a HH set that cost a cool grand. It was
a gift and I pretty much laughed at it when I got it, thinking I could
get much use out of it. Amazingly I DO get use out of it because it's
warmer and more rain resistant than my 400 dollar set. It's overkill
for most of the summer, but I wear it a lot in late October and
November. When we get deep snow here in NY I also use it and prefer
over typical winter garb.
Good foul weather gear, like good shoes is usually worth owning!
