Default Rain Gear

I have a HD rain suit. My son just bought an Indian. Can you recommend a good rain suit that is relatively lightweight and does not have HD on it? I plan to buy him a rain suit.

I have this suit and road thru Hurricane Arthur's remnants in addition to a 400+ mile ride with this gear on and I was warm and dry.

Was I 100% dry, NO but damn better than I expected.

Good suit for the price IMO

I've got the HD Hi Viz rain suit and its one of the HD branded items I'd probably ride with even if I wasn't on a harley. It's a really well done suit and as long as it works I don't really care whether or not it "matches" the motorcycle.

I have used the frog suits for years. As long as you wear something on your right leg so they don't melt. I wear the quick pull over rain boot and that works great.

I stopped wearing rain gear after seeing it melt on my exhaust.

Eventually it will stop raining and I will air dry.

I bout these for the wife and I. We did some rain riding this week. I had my heavy leather coat on underneath and was not overheated even after the sun came out.
I paid $110 each for them at a local store. A friend who was riding with us said that they definately stand out even in heavy rain. They Are Milwaukee Brand.

First gear and Olympia brands are top notch.
