I like my aerostitch!

I had a Dry Rider rain suit 35 years ago that would keep you dry in a torrential downpour. Why in the the year 2020 do we have rainsuits that leak?

Definitely Klim gear! I use the Lattitude. Eliminates rain gear and leathers from my bike and don't have to stop and put something on when out on the road. It is expensive, but worth every penny and will last for years. I ride in LOTS of rain! Klim Lattitude and Bates boots keep me 100% dry.

The only thing that gets wet occasionally is my hands when I have to stop to get gas. There's just no way you can get gloves off and back on again without getting some water inside.

Rukka gear IS insanely expensive, but I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
