HELP, Frogg Toggs - Which Model
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.

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.

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.
