Please tell me your favorite rainsuit for Alaska

Thanks in advance. Last time I was in Alaska and went on a whale watching tour....I wore a heavy winter coat that got soaked....and as a result I was freezing.

Get one big enough to go over some warm clothes...

anything goretex (breathable) that says "waterproof" and not "water resistant".

I have a Northface jacket which can be used anytime it rains and I have waterproof pants.

Key is to have a true waterproof jacket.

Frogtogs....I own two sets.

I have a frogtog jacket and wear a fleece jacket under it. I am going to bring a cheap poncho next time to keep my pants dry.

I should have said the name FROG TOGGS. They are very light weight, usually come in a pouch and take up very little room in a bag. And not crazy expensive. A whole rain suit should EASLY fit in a backpack or similar size bag for taking with you while doing a shore excursion.

In the summers I use Grundens Weather watch pants and a Columbia rain jacket. They are small enough to fit in a backpack, easy to take on and off and are breathable. They are pretty heavy duty and have lasted 3 Alaskan summers and 3 Florida winters.

I also have a pair of frog togs that is mentioned other places in the thread. They are good, they just don't mesh well with my activity level. The pants rip a lot after light use. Good this is that they're cheap and I don't feel bad whenever I rip them.

I have used my frog toggs to do field research on the glaciers and moraine fields and never had a problem. I did get a hole in the pants from a sharp rock, but duct taped it.

At the least, and what is mentioned often, bring a lightweight rainproof jacket with a hood. You can layer underneath it as needed. I rarely wear my rain pants in Alaska.

Both my wife and I wear glasses so we used poncho with a brim which helped keep them dry. Order ours from amazon. This next trip will be third time and they sadly told up to put in your backpack. Good luck

My wife and I are doing an Alaska cruise on HAL Eurodam at the end of this July. We already have water-proof, lined, hooded jackets (waist length) from Columbia. Top Notch.

Have a great cruise.

Thanks! I’m angsting about what to pack, and was worried that rain pants were a must. We are doing fishing, whale watching, bear watching, and a walk on a glacier...
