Default Packable rainsuits/wet weather gear....Recommendations please

G'Day there
I am heading over to Sturgis this year from Australia , and from what i read it is a good idea to have some rain gear handy. What i am after is a good product that packs up pretty small. We will be over there for 2 1/2 months so space is critical
Do any of you guy and girls have any suggestions??

I use Frogg toggs. They are fairly inexpensive, pack into a gallon size zip lock bagand do a good job. Just don't get them against the motor or pipes!

I use the Harley 2 piece set they pack inside themselves and have heat shields in the legs to keep from melting they were $99 at the stealer!

+1 on the Frog Toggs. I hate to take up valuable space with rain gear.

I agree with rsofa, for the money and the compactness, can't beat it!

I have used a "First Gear" rain suit for the last 5 years and like it alot. It folds into two small pouches that are part of the rain suit. It also has heavy cloth sewn into the inside of the leg area where the pants could come into contact with the motor or pipes. Most importantly it has kept me dry!

HAVE USED FROG TOGGS, THEY ARE PRETTY GOOD AND PACK UP SMALL. YOU CAN ALSO BUY A HEAT SHEILD FOR THEM THAT SLIPS OVER PANT LEG.
