All the Tour Master products I've bought so far I've been really impressed with. Have their Coretech mesh jacket, winter riding gloves and their women's rain suit. Haven't used it yet, but I expect it to perform well. Someone else said that rain suits are great for riding in on windy chilly days as they are warm and will definitely keep the chill off.
Eric, are you joining the Helen ride this Sunday? Are you planning on being over at Great South at all on Sat? Wish I could afford to get the pipes I want as I could probably get a discount if I set it up then, but I've been hemorrhaging $$$ for the past month and am about out.

I'm guessing that at that price, the Walmart suits are PVC? Sweat like a pig in them?

RE: Frogg Toggs
My crotch always got wet with my toggs. the leak is in the stitching at the crotch. I complained to Frogg Toggs about it and they sent another pair. Same result. What I found out; my passenger doesn't have the problem. 1. because they are sitting behind and protected. 2. the seat does not slope down creating a puddle area at the crotch like the rider seat does. Toggs are great if you don't sit down.
Yup, I bought a pair of HD suits. The HD suits have served me well and don't get burned. My toggs got a burn hole from my pipes.

I have the H-D suits and have worn them many times and they still work great. The only problem I have is putting my big feet in the legs when my boots are wet. Other then that I would swear by them. Also my lady has them also and she also has had no problem with them. The only thing I can say is in the summer when it rains it does get hot. But if you wear a long sleeve you will be find. I have got many a mile out of mine and over 70 mph and still not a problem..

frogg toggs are made here in Guntersville, Al. the material was originally designed as one time use for hospital operating room staff. i don't think they advocate using them for motorcycles.

I think they DO, otherwise they wouldn't have a photo like this on their website:

Well it just goes to show you, I've had very good luck with mine, yes one needs to be careful when wearing them (leg away from exhaust etc.) but so far so good.

i and my wife have had great luck with Frogg Toggs. We use the high top, wader lowers rather than the pants type. never have experienced any leakage. I especially like them because the breathe, and i don't sweat in them. Use a set of HD rain (boot) gaiters that slip over my riding boot. they got quite high and prevent the Frogg Toggs from hitting the exhaust. used them a lot, and have always remained dry.
