Default Rain Gear For Big & Tall

More like for tall guys. I'm 6' 3" 230 lbs. Went looking for rain gear at the limited suppliers around here with no luck. One place had camo that fit good but I doubt it woulda fit over the leathers. Any big guys here that can share their experiences in this department would be a great help.

I got some at Gander Mountain, Nice gortex stuff. Sure it's camo but what the hell is the difference, it keeps me dry and is comfortable. That way I can wear it hunting as well.
No matter what rain gear you get a set of boot covers is great. Keeps the pant legs where they need be and keeps the road spray at bay. They look goofy as sh"t but hey as long as you are dry.

Well you need to go to a HD dealer. They have several styles in sizes up to 5 XL. Pretty good quality and reflective stripes and emblems on some of them. They are made for riding with bibs, velcro closures and elastic. etc. around openings. Packable too! Check them out. Most have a few in stock and can get anything from their order books pretty fast. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the replys folks. I have been snoopin around the hd site but most of what catches my eye says go to the dealer to checkoutin store stock as it ain't available online. In purchasing myleathers it was an "i need to try it on"typeof thing tomakesureit fit good. The stealer where I got the bike has 1 style of many of the catalogue items but wouldn't guarantee fit but if i ordered it was considered a special order .... kinda sucky in that department. Sounds like another road trip is in order to do a fitting

Thanks again

Try this rain gear. I'm 6'3" & 250 and it fits me well. Have sizes up to XXXXL, it's good quality, and the price is right.

I am 6'2" and 260. I got a set of Frog Toggs off of eBay. They are great. Don't forget something to cover your boots!

I'm about the same size and I got the Gore-Tex stuff from HD and it fits and works great.
