HD High Vis. best wat to go
First I tried a cheap poncho, got soaked. Next tried a dept store rain pants and jacket, got semi wet and sweated way too much. Bought a set of frogtoggs, worked OK at slow speeds but highway speeds result in a flopping and sometimes popping open when catching air, Last bought a set of the Hi-Vis HD gear and it keeps me dry and not too hot. I bought one size larger than what fit good, because I wanted to be able wear a jacket if needed, it flops a little due to this when only a shirt on, but a light weight jacket makes it perfect.

I have the HD Overpass II gear. It is worth the money. I think it was $150 minus 20% (store wide sale). Sold my FroggToggs Elite Storm suit to a buddy for $20.
I hate HD stuff usually. I think their jacket, chaps, boot, gloves are junk. I bought the HD Overpass II gear after a buddy recommended them and am glad I listened. I can honestly say they did good here.

I have also heard of friends that had Frogg Toggs that flapped and tore the first time they used them. Others mentioned that theirs melted on their pipes. I have the HD ones (not high viz though) and have ridden close to 1000 miles at highway speeds (single trip) without any issues and it kept me dry as well. I have had mine now for close to 3 years and still have not had any issues... they have always kept me dry in all kinds of wet weather.
