Looked at many kinds of rain gear including the HD branded stuff (I want the coolest most breathable on the market) and I have decided on Frogg Toggs for my next rain suit, and found several different styles..., Hogg Toggs, Road Toads, Leep Frog..., to name a few.

I was able to look at the Road Toad, Hogg Togg and Leep Frog Models. The Hogg Toggs have a felt type lining in them, and look to be the most sturdy (durable) but I'm not sure they will pack as small, and also wonder if the breathabilty (which is the main reason I want the Toggs) is taken away.

Can I get some comments about which has better/best features..., which is the most comfortable model..., which is more durable, and breathable..., etc, etc, etc.

 

Go with the road toads. At least jacket wise. It has draw strings that will tighten the collar around your neck to keep the rain out. I have had mine about 4yrs and no proplems. Did get the glue on heat shield for the pair of frog toggs rain pants that I have.

My wife and I use the Road Toads, and Harley58 hit the best points. I've already burnt my pants on the rear headpipe, but other than that, they're fine.

I do wish the pants were easier to put on over my boots, though. I got a lot of looks dancing on the side of the road trying to pput these on.

 

try taking plastic grocery bags with you. Slip one over your boot and foot will slide thru leg opening easily!

 

Frogg Toggs will melt if they touch your hot pipes! Take precautions

 

If'n you call Frogg Toggs they have some heat patches for the legs to keep you from burnin a Hole in the legs.........
I put a couple on each leg.
Don't pull any loose strings on the suits either. Leave them alone.

 

Yup. Burned a big hole in my Frogg Togg pants the first time that I wore them. Wouldn't recommend for a rider at all. Passenger only.

 

After carrying and using a set of cheap Frogg Toggs for several years I finally pitched them in the trash. While I think they ARE the most comfortable and breathable rainsuits available my reasons for replacing them where:
1) burned leg on pipes;
2) zipper in jacket exploded one day;
3) safety issue.

The last reason is probably the real reason. Got caught late one evening on a two-lane in Colorado in the rain. I realized that I was damn near invisible to the traffic lined up behind me and oncoming. That was no fun. I now have the HD HiVis suit and so does my GF. I want to be SEEN while riding in the rain.

 

I bought the Road Toads with the orange jacket & black pants, figured I would be seen better...............

 

I bought a set of Frogg Toggs because $150 for Harleys gear seemed too high. After getting caught in some gully washers, I went and got the Harley gear.

Seems like the expensive ones turned out to be the Frogg Toggs. $60 wasted.

That's my experience anyway.
