I also have the Tourmaster suits and can not say enough good things about them. The only downside is that they do not pack up very small. I have a HD suit that I just keep in the bike. It is super small and the pants and jacket folf all up into a pocket in the hood of the jacket. Easy to pack, but not as durable. How much touring do you plan on doing and what are the chances you will be riding in the rain?

 

+1 But they will melt on a hot pipe; I visited a Frogg Togg dealer at Sturgis this year and he gave me the "Smokin' Toad" patch kit, which is a chunk of Nomex that you glue to the side of your pants where it would contact the pipes.

If you get the Toggs, be sure to get the Nomex patch ....

 

I picked up a suit by Carhartt a couple years ago and it's outstanding! For the same price as an HD suit it's a far superior product construction and durability wise. It doesn't pack up real small but I'm not a small guy so yours may take up less space. I've also used it camping in 3 days of rain and stayed bone dry the whole trip.

 

I've had good luck with the HD ones, that fold into the hood. They work & don't take up much space.

 

Yep, melted a big hole on the inside of my right leg. The Toggs kept me dry in over 3 hours of steady rain on the interstate. They are very light. I do not like the black color. I prefer a much brighter color in rainy conditions so the cagers are more apt to see me. Wife has one of the bright orange HD suits. They show up well, but are hot and a tad heavy. Probably the best thing to do is spend the money and go Gortex.

 

I have the Overpass and it works well....yes it's warm...if you ride in the rain in the summer then shorts and t-shirts under it makes for pretty comfy ride...

 

I got the HD Hi Vis suit this year and used it a bunch, of all the ones I've tried, this one actually keeps me dry. The key is adding cover for your boots, if your feet are dry its all good.

 

I've got the gore Tex jacket and pants along with gators for my boots. They were expensive but I got just abut half price at an end of the season sale at a local dealer. I like them because not only keeps the rain off, works like a wind breaker in the cold but lets the heat out when it's hot.

 

Make sure you get something that won't melt to your pipes. Some things are worth paying for; a good quality rain suit is one of them.

 

Same here, I cut the heel elastic off the pants though otherwise they worked good for me in Co. thunder busters
