Schu, I've gotta believe that wearing a dive mask would hurt something fierce at highway speeds. But it'd be worth it for the looks you got from passing cars, especially if you had a snorkel strapped to it.

Needed that today on the ride home in San Antonio, Just missed the Jack-Knifed truck on Loop 1604. Rain Sucks, and no you wont melt But damn RAIN SUCKS.

I'm a fan of the H-D hi-viz. I have used mine 1 season and encountered plenty of rain and was happy with how well it performed. Never got rain inside the suit...was happy with the breathability and felt like I had a better than not chance of being seen by cagers in low-light, poor-visibility conditions. BUT, from what I can see (and I've looked) ALL the H-D rain suits look to be excellent for keeping you dry. All are well constructed and are made with the rider in mind...long in the back, large pockets, covered zippers, easy to put on over clothing/boots (while on the side of the road), not so "tent-like" that they'll flap in the wind, inside of legs is covered with material that won't melt...etc.
That being said, I'm not trying to hijack here (well, maybe just a little), after having worn the Men's size M for a season the women's version came out. Of course, I HAD to have it. Fits me better and is "cuter". SO, I'm selling my Hi-viz men's size M AND my friend is selling her men's size S.
If you don't mind wearing a pre-owned suit with just a slight hint of women's Chanel Mademoiselle perfume, then PM me if interested! (j/k about the perfume!)

No... The HD Emblem on the back of the jacket is reflective. I have only had to use my rain gear for actually riding in the rain one time, Lucky me...

Tour Master, this stuff is great, it's a big thicker and really cheap, you're still going to get wet, but this is the best I've found so far.

I have a cheap set of rain gear that I bought from JP cycles, keep them in my bag at all times they work better for cold weather more than warm, better suited for wind breaker material but since they were bought from a motorcycle accessory shop they don't melt if they touch the pipes. I have had the intention of buying a good set but never really got around to it.

Just got this set and actually had a chance last week to try it out in a rain/sleet storm. Got caught enough times with sub-par rain gear and finally had enough.

It performed very well, lightweight, reflective stuff all over it, and packs real small. And the pants have suspenders, huge plus for me.
