How to Keep Chest Dry in Rain
#14
With or without the windshield, I wear the HD Gore-Tex, the trick is to get all the adjustments right. Once you get it, it's always done. I adjust the hood to fit snug around my face. I find a ball cap with the visor out to also help when it's raining real hard. I adjust the neck to be pretty snug and usually wear a leather bandana around my neck with the tip outside to allow water from my face to flow over it instead of down my neck. Add the pants, Gore-Tex boots and gloves, I don't get wet, not even around the edges. I use this setup to ride to work in the rain, I unsuit and go to my desk or meetings, looking no different than if I had driven the cage.

Sometimes, you just get wet...comes with the territory...
My favorite "How do you?" post was the guy who wanted to know how to keep the wind from blowing up his pants legs...I suggested a Stanley staple gun...

Hey Ya'll,
A buddy and I got caught in a 8-hour rain-ride yesterday. I thought I was prepared for rain with a HD Overpass II rainsuit, boot covers and storm gears neck gaiter http://www.coolbikerstuff.com/schamp...marttube2b.jpg.
BUT---IS THERE A WAY TO KEEP YOUR CHEST DRY?
I found that no matter what...I still got rain down my chest.
Help?
Suggestions?

How would your chest get wet when you're wearing a rainsuit? Doesn't make sense. The water must be running down your neck, you need to make it tighter around your neck.

Don't listen to these guys, they know nothing about riding in the rain. Just toss the rain suit in the Goodwill bin, then ride with you bathing suit on when expecting a lil precipition. Act like yer ridin to the beach.
But in that case a real high wind shield and a full face mask comes in handy to keep the rain drops from pelting yer skin like hail stones smackin a cheese cake!
