I've picked up three different sets of Red Ledge based on recommendations
on this list. Not one worked. The water went through them like wearing cotton.
So I didn't just get a bad one. I even bought one set at TOTT just to see
if maybe I was getting them from a bad source. Did not repel water at all.

I have two sets of Frogg Toggs. They work great. One set has a bit of a
leak in one seam, but some seam sealer fixed that. They feel like paper, but
they are more like tyvek. They've been worn on two treks and the only tear was
when I caught them on something at home and pulled way too hard.
I highly recommend Frogg Toggs.
