On my way from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas last May, it was pouring and cold on the day we were to head back (wife in car, of course) so we went to Walmart. I bought a Coleman rain suit and it kept me plenty dry. I went through pouring rain, snow, sleet, and wind with it. I think it cost me $15.

 

3 years ago I bought a HD rain suit. Pricey yes. $200 Cdn. Rode 5 days of rain and cold. It was the best money I spent. It kept me dry and warm. Dont cheap out on a rainsuit. You will regret it.

 

Has anyone tried this new one. You need to buy the pants as well, seems expensive.... 5 bills for the set.

I use the Icon PDX rain suit,the best so far!

 

I went a step further, I use a waterproof glove I purchased at http://www.lapolicegear.com/

I have water resistant boots too, I got wet, froze my keester off, said it wouldn't happen again!

 

I've got the HD Hi-Vis and the HD Rain Gator boot covers...just got back from Daytona last week and rode in rain for Saturday & Sunday...we got caught on I-4 at night in pouring down rain...the only this that got wet was my hands...I literally was bone dry when I got back to the hotel. Believe me, you get what you pay for. I rode last September for 3 hours in rain and again arrived at my destination completely dry and comfortable.

 

Same here, its a great suit. I stay warm and dry. Don't cheap out, buy a good suit and be done with it, I think you will be happy with it in the end.

 

I bought myself and wife a HD 2 piece rain suits, ya pricey but work really well. And there were on sale at the dealer at the time we bought them.

 

For $700 I'd rather be wet!

 

I have the HD Hi-Vis suit and just spent over 2 hours in the pouring rain. I'm completely dry. I saw a couple other guys that didn't look so good.

I think the HI-VIS part is important. Cars can't see you on a clear sunny day, what are the chances they will see you in the pouring rain, you need all the visibility you can get.
