FROGG TOGGSMen's Classic Pro Action Waterproof Breathable Rain Jacket

REGULAR

don't want to write review

If you plan on purchasing these Frogg Toggs, make sure to order a size smaller than your normal ones, or if you're like me and are on the edge of sizes (I flip between large and XL depending on what I'm purchasing, usually leaning to XL). I ordered the XL and it's huge on me. Took it out to go fishing in the rain and got a good laugh out of my sister who said I looked like the Michelin Man because there was so much extra space in it. Yes, it's that big on me. Since I'm past the return window, I chose to give this jacket to a co-worker and will be ordering a large.Aside from looking like a hot air balloon while wearing it, the fabric of this jacket is a bit odd, almost like tyvec and has a bit of a crinkly sound to it. It's very light weight for those who plan on using it for hiking/backpacking although its bulk may be a bit of a burden. As stated, I took it out fishing in the rain not long ago and stayed completely dry. Although I find that anything claiming to be waterproof has a threshold and will eventually soak through, it survived its first test with ease. I'll be ordering the large before long and will be sure to test it out to see just how long this waterproof jacket can last in a good rainfall.For now, four stars until I get to truly test this jacket out in a good rainfall.Update: October 27, 2019Four months have passed since my above review and not long after, I bought the large which is a much better fit. It's still a bit bulky which is fine since it'll allow me to add layers underneath if I need to. The area I live was having a bit of a drought and those times when it rained, it either wasn't much, was a passing thunderstorm (I don't play well with lightning), or was overnight which didn't allow for me to test just how waterproof this jacket is.That changed today with the passing of the remnants of a tropical storm and as expected, it withstood the rain for a while but did not hold up as well as I had hoped. Within a few hours of some pretty heavy rain, the jacket began to soak through. I didn't get completely soaked but the shirt I was wearing underneath did get wet in the shoulders. Had I stayed out in the rain much longer though, I probably would have gotten pretty soggy. Unfortunate, but not unexpected.The good: This jacket can withstand a rainfall as long as it isn't prolonged or too heavy and can also serve as a windbreaker which was a blessing to me a few weeks ago while on a riding mower during a windy day. Riding that mower was chilly until I put the jacket on which helped quite a bit and kept me warm for the rest of the day.With that said, I've dropped my rating from four stars down to three. This jacket is effective when it comes to a moderate rainfall and for blocking the wind when it has a bite to it. Unfortunately, while I'm not surprised, it doesn't live up to the claim of being waterproof.

I was able to use this jacket during a rain filled trip to an amusement park. Kept the rain off of me and even kept my dry on the water rides (well at least the top half cover by the jacket). I was concerned at first about getting too hot in this because of the material but it wasn't bad. I do wish it was 4-5 inches longer. The major downside to this jacket is the location of the pockets. They are farther back than a normal jacket making it uncomfortable to get your hands in and out.

Good quality but runs big

i put this jacket to the test this week here in NOR CAL during these storms as i work outside 12 hours a day and this jacket DEFINATLEY PASSED THE TEST!...not only did it keep me DRY but also warm and this jacket is windproof also....ONLY reason i didn't give it five stars is there is NO inside pockets...but otherwise...this jacket is a MUST BUY if you work in wet weather!

For being so light weight it is surprisingly warm. Good buy

Sizing -Sleeves and abdomen portions are very large, but the neck is much to small if snapped on.Hood is much too tall unless one has an extra-long, thin neck. It might be just about perfect to put over a bicycle helmet.As just an outer shell without using the hood, a person with a high BMI might find this to be a dream come true - so the size could be a good thing to some.The length is too short for the size, which makes it just feel all wrong. If the manufacturer made it more generous in length, the coat would drape better and then feel like a more useful overgarment.Fabric -Material used is crinkly, loud and generally unpleasant, especially with the hood up. I did not wear it long enough to test its durability, but it sure seems cheap for the price paid. In this day of nanotechnologies, surely there must be a better option somewhere.Overall -The fit when combined with the material make one yearn for the luxury of a black plastic garbage can liner, except that the liner would not be "breathable".The hood has no snaps at the front, and no adjustments. When stowed, the hood turns the jacket into a nice funnel for water.I had hoped for something that would be comfortable enough for a walk in nature. Each time I tried putting in on, I ended up taking it off and then grabbing a rain hat and regular jacket instead.Love the name and the idea of generally plain / unobtrusive styling.Since it is too late to return it, I might fold it up tight to put in the jack and tool area of the SUV for dire emergencies as a disposable rain jacket.Seems like the money spent on this goes more toward the cool name than the product itself.

Poyrchased a size S for my husband( 1.7 ft 175 Lb) it fits loose . he used it during a rainy day hiking and he was well protected. Happy with the purchase. Would prefer it from another country though.

It’s a great light weight jacketStill a stiff after wearing a couple of times probably from packing / shipping

I like the rain jacket it looks great and it is very light and comfortable thanks

I’m very happy with what I paid for what I got. The extra large fits well if I have another jacket on underneath which is what I’m looking for

I found to be great, keeping me totally dry and. At the recommedation of a freind, I wond very much recommend this porduct
