I bought a set this morning. My Sam's Club had three colors available, green, blue and gray or silver. I've used a set of FroggToggs the past 3 years on canoe trips. And though I have had no blowouts (just piling) I felt it may be time to invest in a new suit. The brand name of the Sam's Club rainsuit is "Natural Gear". It is made of the same material as FT's and is labeled "made with partially recycled material".
First impressions are they are better made than FroggToggs. The material feels thicker, the zipper and snaps are beefier, the bottom legs has snaps that extend to near the knees instead of the small weak zipper that FT uses and you should be able to get the pants on over a pair of boots.
The cut is generous and is meant to fit over other clothing. The hood is bigger than the tiny FT and will provide much better protection. All seams are"welded".
They also come with their own stuff sack,while Froggs charges for theirs.
At $24.99 they are a bargain compared to the Frogg Togg alternative.
