Is your rainsuit easy to throw on and off? Is it 100% dry? Is it lightweight or fairly heavy? Anything you don't like about it? piasspj said he doesn't like his. Thanks.
My HD suit is easy to put on, is pretty light and doesn't melt. Out of all the reviews and miles I have traveled in the rain Im not sure there is a better suit for riding than the HD branded rain gear. A few buddies tried the Frog Togs and quickly learned that they aren't suited for 40 plus mph.

I wear T-Shirts that come from bars, Indy shops and just plain old T-Shirts, but also have a drawer full of HD shirts that were all gifts. Mostly from from relatives, Mom, SIL and others. I finally had to tell them to stop buying me this crap. Most Harley shop shirts are just plain stupid looking shirts. I am not onto wolf's and all that other goofy **** they put on them. Hard to believe in 50 plus years of riding i have never bought a HD shirt.

I told all my relatives to buy me a couple of Lottery tickets instead of those HD shirts.

Like hardheaded, I have a pile of HD t shirts (mostly gifts) in the drawers. I also have a pile of guitar related shirts (Gibson, Fender, Marshall, etc). When I ride, I wear the guitar shirts. When I go jam, I wear the HD shirts. Go figure...

Wear whatever t shirt I put on. I got a couple shirts that I rode across the country for that says Harley one from ATL cost me a 1000$ and I got a new stator and resistor with it. I got a fitted hat that says Harley but I am a hat guy and have a vast collection that I wear. Bought my kids a couple shirts because they think motorcycles are cool. I definitely don’t go out of my way to put on harley apparel. I don’t buy any of thier gloves coats or boots. Too much money and I don’t think that it is any better quality than other brands.

Pretty sure that's the point LoneWoolf was making.

I wear whatever jeans and t-shirt I happen to be wearing that day. Might have a HD logo on it, might be from a concert, might even (god forbid) just be a plain t-shirt. On longer rides I usually wear a plain vest that I think I paid $25 for. When riding to and from work, I wear black work pants and my company issue polo shirt. On Wednesdays for some reason we all wear pink shirts. So if you're ever in Minneapolis on a Wednesday and see a guy wearing a bright pink polo riding a chopped Dyna, that would be me.

The only "Harley Branded" item I wear is my Harley Hagerman Boots. I must have bought and tried a dozen boots before I found these. I wear them on the Fat Bob and my KTM Adventure Bike. Very Comfy on and off the bike


The rest of my gear goes like this:
  • Shoei GT Air II cause I'm too good looking to mess up my face
  • Icon leather gloves
  • Bull-it Jeans Cordura lined
  • Klim Apex in the winter and Klim Marrakesh in the Summer
ATGATT is an acronym used in the Adventure Riding Community. All The Gear All The Time!

Sometimes I wear a Harley tee shirt and that’s it.
