Default RE: IN THE MARKET FOR A RAINSUIT

After I got soaked four times in the last few weeks I decided to go to HD and get a suit. I got the Overpass II pants and jacket. I got to use it two days later on a 250 mile trip from Southern Massachusetts to Upstate New York. It was raining very heavy, I couldnt go over 45 miles an hour because I couldnt see. The suit kept me bone dry.

I will say I am a little wary of the lining on the inside of the pants over the long haul. I keep things packed tightly in one of my saddle bags and I worry the plastic lining will crack over time. Otherwise a very high quality piece which also lets me fit my Vanson underneath it.

I got a 2 piece suit with pants/suspenders and decent jacket.&nbsp\\; It's a Nelson Rigg I believe There not overly expensive and has kept me dry 7 yrs.

Whatever you get make sure it packs up small.&nbsp\\; Not thinking about it, I bought two rain suits for myself and my wife when we first got out bike and the rainsuits take up one whole saddlebag.&nbsp\\; I'm glad my Ultra has the tour pack because I wouldn't have much room for other stuff since my other saddle bag is half full of tools, tire kit, pump, etc.

+1 on HD and Frogg Toggs just make sure you keep the Toggs off the exhaust or you will burn a whole in them, I know from recent experience. They are lightweight and good for summer heat.

i recommend the tourmaster line of rainsuits. 50$ each for 3/4 length jacket and suspender pants. vlour collars zipper with velco covers. ventilated for breathablity and waterproof. pants have elastics cuffs and adjustable suspenders. this suit can be found in most metric stores at half the cost of the stealers prices

I vote for Frogg Toggs, $39.95 - work great, breathe-able. Drawback, if you hit a hot pipe with them, they will melt.

This is the best buy for the money in my opinion. HD Men's High Visibility Rain Suit 98275-08VM


MSRP&nbsp\\;US $150.00
&nbsp\\;
I rode seven hours in the rain and and stayed dry as toast, it's a little warm in hot weather but at highway speeds i didn't sweat.
&nbsp\\;
Good Luck and Dry Riding To Ya. From Good Old Wet Louisiana.

I've had lots of suits... get one that breaths or you'll end up a roasted turkey...
Sierra Trading Post has Elite Frogg Togg for 69.99, about half price.
