[@thomaskiburis9934]

Sorry I forgot to mention. Goes without saying. You guys are great!

Thanks Tom!

How durable are Grundens. I’m not a fisherman I’m a laborer and Grundens was suggested as a good choice for rain gear. I’m nervous that they’ll rip or get cut.

[@flyfishnewengland]

They’re used by lobsterman / commercial fisherman - both of which are highly physically demanding. The classic more rubber ones are very durable

[@MarcP5267]

@@flyfishnewengland thanks. Are they breathable ?

[@flyfishnewengland]

@@MarcP5267 The rubber ones are not - but it’s a trade off between durability and breathability

Can’t believe they discontinued the Stormrider. So sad. I was waiting for them to come in stock. They never came in stock. I thought it was Covid related. I called grundens last week they said they’re discontinued. Any recommendations on something similar. I’m 6’-5”And I want a fly zip. Thank you Tom

Check out the Simms bibs -- very good also!

[@thomaskiburis9934]

Thank you so much! Will do

@@thomaskiburis9934 The Buoy X Gore-Tex Bib & Jacket are nice. The Gambler Gore-Tex Bib & Jacket are also great, both by Grundéns.

I have the storm rider jacket and bib. They're great. You can still get them elsewhere. My bib doesn't have the grunden embroidery like yours though

18 minute video and you got through only half the Epiphany beer? This video made me thirsty.

[@flyfishnewengland]

Ha -- the Epiphany is really good!
