"Any rain gear I've tried over the years was like wearing asweat suit. I finally decided it's easier to just get wet and not worry about it."
This dude did hasn't rode in behind me in a rain/sleet storm before. This guy must ride in warm weather!
If you do much riding when there is a chance of rain invest in a good rain suit. Frogg Toggs are very good I have one myself, light weight, breathable, rain does not leak in. The only problem I have found they do melt to the pipes it ifthe materialcomes in contact with it.
Tourmaster also sells a nice product.I have the bibb verison which is nice. I only boughtthe bottoms and use my frogg togg top to save money.
Which HD suit do you recommend? I've looked at the lightweight packable two-piece and the Overpass suit @ $159...pretty nice but I'm not sure I want to pay that much.
The pants have zipper, snap, and elastic at the waist, that allows it to stretch pertty good. I have had to use it several times when I got caught out.
I actually picked this suit up today in prepearation for Myrtle. I would recommend staying away from the Harley suit that comes in the round bag, It is glued rather than stitched together.
