BPS 100 MPH GORE-TEX Rain Bibs – Product Review

by Grant Pentiricci December 28, 2012

Fishing in cold Canadian weather conditions makes a quality pair of rain bibs a must have. Last thing anyone wants is to be uncomfortable in the rain. This negatively impacts your fishing, not to mention your health! When I started shopping for a pair of rain bibs I strongly considered all my options and found quickly that the BPS 100 MPH bibs are the best in quality and performance. I found dozens of reviews that said this was a great product, so I decided to try them out.

BPS 100 MPH Bibs – Pros

These are high quality! the heavy denier material really makes for a good pair of bibs and I find that the reinforced knees and seams make this an awesome product. Aside from this, I have worn these for days at a time during long fishing binges in the cold and they’re comfortable! I a  movement and never feel restricted. The adjustable suspenders are elasticized and make adjustment easy. I highly recommend that potential buyers wanting to order online visit their local BPS and try them on for size in the store before buying. I actually used the online fitting guide and ordered a pair of bibs that were too tight. I had to return them for a TALL pair.

Bass Pro Shops has a great no hassle warranty on this product. They back this product 100% and as with all their branded items if you have any problems you can return it to the store within 1 year of the purchase date and they will take care of you. BPS branded items like these bibs may be returned even after the warranty period on an inspection basis for exchange.

BPS 100 MPH Bibs – Cons

The price on these bibs is pretty steep. At a whopping $249.99 CDN for a large-tall (my size) these bibs are definitely for serious

anglers that plan on fishing in any weather they encounter and don’t want to skimp on gear.

I found that the bright Bass Pro Shops logos on the front were a little too much for my taste. Although the logos are colorful they aren’t as annoying as on the rain parka and are somewhat tastefully placed on the thigh.
