So, I wasn't going to say anything... but since you asked:
1) Neck area WAYYY too loose. If that were the only problem, I'd find a solution. I have velcro and know how to use it.
Not a problem with my 17" neck
2) First time that I wore the pants the crotch leaked.
Not a problem with my 1/2" crotch
3) First time I wore the pants the pocket's pass-through blew out and ripped. I will stress that I was not being hard on the suit.
Same thing happend to BOTH my pockets!
4) I am a fairly large woman. I'm 5'8" & weight around 195. I'm a little overweight, but not huge. I had a men's large suit... which I must stress, was not tight. The arms on the jacket were freakishly long... like drag your knuckles on the pavement long, & the pants would not cover the legs on my 32ish" inseam.
I am a fairly large man. 6'4" & weight around 280. I'm overweight, but my 6'4" frame helps to carry it reasonably well. I've got what's labeled as L-XL. Wasn't too tight when I bought it 9 years ago, but that was about 80 pounds ago, so now everything is too tight. Exactly the opposite problem on the arms...too short for me, and the legs are too short as well on my 35" inseam. I should have a 3XL suit. Now, when I know I'm gonna get wet on the ride home, or run up on a storm out on the road, I stop by the roadside and strip all the way down to my Fruit of the Looms and go 95% "commando" under my Toggs. Passing traffic must wonder WTF that pasty fat white guy is doin' standing their in his tighty whities with rain falling like crazy.
BTW, doing the strip-down boogie by the side of the road is the ONLY time I noticed the legendary Gen I heat on my left leg. Damn near cooked it with nothing but the Toggs between me and the surface of Mercury. The rain was the only thing keeping my skin from frying. Won't be doin' THAT again!

I cannot understand why so many have good experiences with these things FOR YEARS. I really can't.
I guess I've lived with the shortcomings all these years because the FT were SO cheap...about $65 if memory serves, and since rainy season here coincides with 95+ degree weather, the light weight and breathable fabric during a steam bath shower outweighed the negatives.
This is definitely on my list of "good money wasted on **** purchase". I sent the jacket... which did indeed survive a weekend of my tortuous hell to FJRandy since he is one of the FT kool aid drinkers.
But Howie, this is my list.
Hey, I appreciate you playing along with the Home Edition.
I'm not usually a gambler, but I'd give Frogg Toggs one more chance
IF the 3XL was noticeably larger AND they'd done a better job of waterproofing the front jacket closure.
