Frogg Toggs
Okay I know I havent been here in a looong time but I had to come back and share this. Frogg Toggs SUCK!!!!! I 've read on these forums that some of you have them and swear by them, well good for you. Because in my experience they are poorly made cheapo crap! On the way to bike week the shoulder of mine blew out. Ill admit that when I told a dealer down there about it he replaced it. Then last week I wear them and I only went TWO BLOCKS before my whole crotch was soaked! When I got home I searched the crotch and leg areas of my "rain" suit and found no tears or holes. Therefore the water mustve just been soaking through!!! Ive worn my Frogg Toggs twice and they have failed me both times! I dont NEED three strikes two is enough for me! I guess Im gonna have to bite the bullet and spend the bucks for an HD rain suit as much as I hate to! One of my riding buddys has one and it has been great for SEVERAL VERY rainy rides. Guess Ill pray for sunny skies and wait for a sale [:@]

RE: Frogg Toggs
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. guntersville is on the largest lake (TN river) in alabama and one of the best big mouth bass producers in the country. fishermen and hunters swear by frogg toggs. i have them because one of the local riders works for them. they are not my favorites as you do get wet (no explanation known) in a heavy rain. they can be had here locally for $20 a set.

Ape,
Welcome back, haven't seen you in quite awhile. I have toggs also and am not impressed. My buddy bought a $30 rain suit at walmart in the hunting section and it works great on his bike. If your ever around Newnan we should hook up. Great South's HD in Newnan is having it grand opening this week.

Kevin, my wife and I wanted to try Frogg Toggs but decided to go for rainsuits we found at Wal-Mart. 30 bucks each and they work just fine. Dry as a bone after riding in a steady rain for about 45 minutes.

Good to know about the Toggs. I had been curious about them, but now will pass.

I'll third suits from WalMart. I have been using the Stearns rip stop nylon suits from there for several years. They come as separates, so you can get a bigger top/bottom if you need it. The jacket packs down in it's own pocket. The pants come with a small stuff sack. They have kept us dry during some real down pours. Every year or so, I spray some Camp Dry on them to help keep them water resistant.
I like them because of their small pack down size. This is a pic of an XL set next to a pint bottle.

I have used Tourmaster rain suits for years and I've never had a problem. Even when I had to ride through Hurricane Floyd from South Carolina back up to Virginia (military don't play with "weather" excuses). I have the older Elite II model so I can't speak to any of the new models.
