But that's just me. Everybody's different. Lining gets wet and starts to smell, it wears, it comes loose, it's too hot in moderate weather and (IMHO) dosn't keep your hands that much warmer. If at all.
In fact, they have almost the same glove, lined, for less money.
Go figure.

I bought a Yellow Icon PDX rain jacket recently (off eBay for $50).

I have a Scorpion Hat Trick jacket which has a rain liner in it.....and it's awesome, but the back isn't long enough for my ape handlebars (raised arms pull the jacket up). So I got a longer jacket to go under it. Keep that in mind.

This rain suit works excellent. It's the HD Overpass II and I've used it several times...... dry as a bone. Cheap suit = wet and miserable -- don't skimp!

That's not true. My GF rode about 300 miles in rain wearing the following :

She was as dry as dry can be. It's 1/3 to 1/4 the price of the Harley Davidson suits and it is by far the same if not better quality. I seriously don't recommend you buy HD's overpriced stuff when there's tons of cheaper and better alternatives available.

I'd stay away from the Frogg Toggs. I seen a pair fail on a buddy with just one usage. Better for hunting than serious riding. Just too flimsy. Personally I've been using the same pair of rain gear from Tour Master for over 10 years. And it's seen more than just a little around town use too. Like one poster said, I've found boot gaiters are a good thing to have along with the rain gear if you plan on traveling rain or shine.

Normally I'd agree with your last statement, but with rain suits I've found after trying a few out that the HD Overpass II is the best quality suit I'd come across. It's rare but HD does sell a good product once in awhile.
