Just bought the HD hi-vis yellow from Surdyke, listed for $185, Surdyke price $148 shipped, tax included. Like someone once said to me, "I never go out in the rain but I've come home plenty of times in the rain".

 

I have hi-viz HD stuff, like most others here it works good. I have a couple friends with the high dollar KLIM stuff, and they can ride in damn near anything and be comfortable, warm, and dry.

 

Fogg Toggs here with a set of all nylon booties w/o the bulky rubber sole. Used spray adhesive to glue 2 layers of aluminized ironing board cover fabric to the right bootie. Booties rollup with the rain suit and the rig kept me dry out west during the past 2 weeks and we saw some torrential rain during our trip.

 

HD Hi-vis works well for Me.

 

I'm a Frogg Togg guy. They breathe so you don't sweat when you strike your camp in the rain before a ride home. The one down side is they do melt on hot pipes. My solution has been to not touch them to hot pipes.

Ihope this helps.

 

I have Frogg Toggs. I put the heat shield on when I had a RK my FLHTK seems to have the pipes in just a little different place. So to avoid the melting if started to wear my chaos over them. Snug, dry, and no melting.

 

Agree that works too in a pinch or a short ride. I hate my leather gloves getting soaked because they take a long time to dry out and once they do I have to re-oil them. Wet leather with latex under also means cold hands, depending on air temp. With it having rained here in central TX for the entire month of May, I have been extremely happy with the cold water angler's gloves.

 

Roll these up and keep them in the pocket of your rain gear. After you put your rain gear on, along with whatever gloves you like/want to wear, pull these out and over your gloves and lower sleeves. They are terrific, and also have a small squeegee on one of the thumbs that clear your visor with a quick slide across it. You won't leave home again without them.

Somethings you get what you pay for, rain gear is one of those things. The HiViz has yet to fail me in 4 years, along with the Harley GoreTex gloves and the Hustin Waterproof Boots, The most comfortable boots I've ever owned.

Anybody have any experience with the HD rain pants they sell separately?
Part #98246-09VM

I've got a decent jacket, but need some new pants. I'd prefer the Hi-Vis ones, but it doesn't look like they sell those separately.
