Great pricing on the Nelson Riggs Rain gear and it is good quailty stuff as PacBlue states. Check it out and don't forget your 10% discount use coupon HF10 on checkout.

I've tried a couple over the years. Got the Harley set thats orange and gray. This is top quality rain gear. Zips all the way up the pant legs and has velcro. Removables hood on the jacket. Just got back from a rainy ride to outer banks and again storms on the way home. This gear comes off and on easy, even quickly on the side of the road. Highly recommend.

Twenty plus years of living in any weather mother natures can dish out tells me to wear Gortex. There is no bad weather, only bad clothes. Buy cheap and you'll regret it every time you get off of your scoot and your feet go "squish squash...)

I have Harley's Hi-Vis rain suit and highly recommend it.

It was pouring rain when I emerged from my tent at the Loudon Track yesterday morning. I slipped into the suit, rode up to Laconia, walked around for an hour in heavy rain, jumped back on the bike and rode back to VT thru more heavy rain. When I got home, the clothes I was wearing under the rain suit were still bone dry. Don't skimp on rain ware and buy the best you can afford.

Don't forget to treat yourself to a good pair of waterproof boots while you are at it. I picked up a pair of Danner Goretex boots from Cabela's that were on closeout and reduced 1/2 price.

I used a Tourmaster Suit last week for a 2000 mile road trip. I stayed 100% dry in them.

I have never owned a set of rain gear, I think this I'm going to bite the bullet this week and purchase a set. Have a couple of long distance trips planned this year.
