compact rain gear kit?
Hi,
Does anyone have recommendations about the most compact rain gear for riding? I understand small is relative, but maybe something that folds up pretty tight...?
 \\;
I seem to have so much other crap in my hard bags that room is a premium...
 \\;
thanks

RE: compact rain gear kit?
Over the time that I've been on this forum, I have seen Frogg Toggs recommended the most often for the combination of compactness, waterproofness, and cost. I haven't bought a set, yet, as I'm using my BassProShops Gore-Tex suit, which is great btw. \\;

Sam's Club did have a jacket/pant set for $25 bucks.
only comes in brown or blue but it is the breathable material.
comes with a carry bag that is pretty small - that is what I bought &\\; it works great!

Frogg Toggs work well but, will burn instantly if they touch the pipes.

Old biker trick for those with Frogg Toggs, put some duct tape on the lower right leg, problem solved.

Don't know how big a man you are but Im 6 foot \\;5 and 295.
I ordered a set from casual male that rolls up into roll 6 inches round and about 12 inches long.
If you're average size Frogg Toggs are the way to go.
Thought I'd give you and large mans option.

+1 on the HD $99.00 set. \\; I think the style is Canal Street, maybe. \\; I have gotten very good service out of mine and my wife has from hers also. \\; I would be tempted to try one of the less expensive sets though, if they were as compact.

Thanks for all the replies, I will check into the froggs and HD brand as well.
