i have this suit and it has worked great for me.
well made with a lot of little features.
i bought it used only once from a forum member

 

I got Frogg Toggs for use on my ATV in the mud. But have the HD ones for the bike (the cheaper version). They work okay and haven't leaked in 9 years and many, many uses. The main reason I bought them is that they pack up into a really small pouch. Space was a critical item for me and these fit the bill.

 

Mine are fine - they are British army though. They haven't melted onto the exhaust, although I am careful to keep my leg away from the pipe if possible.

Having said that, most rain gear is going to melt against your pipes if they are hot enough unless you have a heat shield of some type.

Sew a bit of nomex or similar on the inside of the right shin if you are worried.

 

I just wanna pay for the rain suit; not a licensing agreement. Now if HD is willing to give me the rain suit you linked up I would wear it.

 

I think it depends on your riding style. Will you have the option of waiting for the rain to pass or will you need to ride to make a destination? If you have to continue to ride no matter what the weather is like, go for the best suit you can afford. I have the hi-vis and wear it at least a dozen times a year. Before i got the hi-vis, I wore my Gore-Tex jacket and pants thinking I had it made. Gore-Tex was water resistant for about 75 miles before it finally let the water through. That's when I got the hi-vis. Great rain gear.

 

Sapman, if your gear is true branded GoreTex you should contact them. GoreTex is guaranteed waterproof for life I believe.

 

I'm sure the Air Force will not stand behind the Gore-Tex they issued me but, I could ask.

 

I had to purchase it last year after I tossed my frog tog in the trash on along trip. It is the best rain gear I have ever road in.

 

If you want to do it once, and do it right, this is what you buy. There's a rubber patch on the seat of the pants to keep you from sliding when the saddle pools with water, there's a big waterproof pocket on the front of the thigh area that's easily accessible, there's elastic stirrups that hook under your boots to keep the legs from sliding up in the wind, there's a hood that's designed so you don't feel any uncomfortable seams under your helmet, and there's high-viz reflectors to give you confidence that you'll be seen in those horrible conditions. I waited too long to buy a set, but I'm glad I own one now after owning one for about four years. If you ride in the rain you'll appreciate it.

 

Same here with the Olympia. In addition to the features mentioned above, each piece has a built in stuff sack, so it compacts very nicely. I also like the built in vents on the jacket, stowable rain hood and all the adjustments. I have yet to get wet wearing this. Very well made.
