Waterproof Camo coveralls or bibs

Looking for lightweight non insulated bibs or coveralls that are rain proof/waterproof.  What are you guys using?

After looking for awhile I ended up buying a heavier set of Grunden rain bibs and jacket. My reasoning was I’ve had a few so called waterproof pants/jackets and the either only work in a light rain or fall apart. The Grunden set is waterproof and seems to be very tough they will also serve as my foul weather suit for fishing. Are the quiet? Nope, but in a downpour it doesn’t matter. Might not be the right choice for most, but so far I’m pleased with my decision.

Good luck finding something. If it’s truly waterproof, you’ll sweat your butt off if you are moving around in them much. And if you want lightweight, they won’t be truly waterproof.

Thanks for the replies. I never figured it would be so hard to find something decent. Maybe I’ll just stop hunting in the rain  :D

Over my cotton bibs, I slip on a set of Frogg Togg camo bibs and then my leafy cut-out pants. The Frogg Toggs are not good in briars, but are water proof, wind proof, and very light weight. The do make a slight swishing sound when walking, but I've never felt they spooked any turkeys. This morning, I walked 1/4 mile through knee-high grass without getting my legs wet which would have been uncomfortable at the 50 degree pre-dawn temperature, saving me from shivering which could have caused me to miss that 22# gobbler that stopped a 3" load of #5 shot at 6 a.m.

I bought a pair of Cabelas Dry Plus bibs years ago.
Mostly to keep my legs dry while walking through wet grass in the mornings.

I have had a Gamehide set of pants and jacket for a good many years and they remain waterproof.  But, I find that I have to wear a vest or something under the jacket to stay warm when sitting in the rain.  A blind is ideal or some kind of cover.
