Have HD suit, and have had 4 or 5 instances where it was raining so hard it was pooling in my lap/crotchal area and spilling over my legs. Dry as a bone underneath, can't ask for much more than that...

 

I've got a set of Frogg Toggs that I've had for years, and have never had to wear. Aside from the price, the big advantage to Frogg Toggs is that they are breathable.

 

What size are you needing? I bought the orange Hi-Vis suit in size small for a week long road trip last month, never worn. I'd sell it $125 plus shipping as I want to buy the other HD rain suit only because it is more compact, and space is a premium. Shoot me a PM if interested

 

Have a Nelson Rigg suit. Ridden in rain and cold rain. Love it. Talked a buddy into getting one before a ride to FL a few weeks ago. He wound up in 600+ miles of monsoon. He's buying me an expensive dinner (or maybe just a really good bottle of booze) for talking him into getting that suit, so I think he approves.

I've never had a rain suit or a pair of chaps for that matter.

 

FYI. It's $148.00 from Boardtracker.

 

i use an original out back with zip out lining would not use anything but an outback plus great on cold days

 

Frog Toggs are great, as long as you are not near a heat source. I bought them as they are cheap and work great for their intended purpose. I was mindful of the exhaust but still managed to melt the right leg onto the exhaust. If you are hunting or just need rain gear for general purpose they are great, but not on a bike.

 

I keep a rain suit in my saddle bag at all times. I'm surprised at the number of bagger riders who don't.

When I take road trips I'll use a water resistant textile jacket and pants. It's great for cooler weather, and unlike vinyl rain gear, textile material breathes. Another benefit is by wearing the suit, there's more room in my saddle bags for other stuff.

I've never had a problem with my jacket and pants letting water through the fabric. I treat them with Scotchgard waterproofing spray once a year.

 

Nelson Riggs for 10 years with no problems.
