Default raingear question

Years ago, 80's, HD rain suits were made so that I could wear a large and it was plenty long enough. Not so nowadays. I'm 6'2" 190 with 35" sleeves and 34" inseams. Does anybody know a brand of raingear that'll fit? I tried on all the HD stuff. Frogg Toggs looks great but I'd need XXlg to get the right length and then I'd be a flying sail.

Thanks

You might try hunting gear as a last resort. It's most likely gonna be camo but Cabalas and those type guys have a huge selection of style and size. Good luck.

Try your local army/navy surplus store. They should have what you need.

I use Fogg Toggs at 6'1", an XXL and it works great. Funny looking, but who cares?

Frabil rain suits come in 4XL and they work well on both the bike and in the boat fishing.

They don't say HD on them though for those who are still drinking the kool aid.

I recently got a set of Dri Ducks. They fit pretty well. I haven't gotten to test them yet. The old saying is true: Get rain gear and you'll never get rained on again.
