what is the best rainsuit
#11
This is the one I currently have.
The only negative was the model I have (there is a newer style/model out) does not have a heat shield on the leg.
My wife and I made one and put it on (not before I burnt a hole in the leg though).
I keep mine in the saddle bag all the time, the reason i bought A compact rain suit.
Getting one that fits you properly & Putting it on correctly are probobly the most important things.
My chaps/pants get a little wet at the bottom, but never higher than my boots so it is not uncomfortable.
I like the One piece over the two (personally) because I stay drier than with two piece suits (but that's me).

I have the HD packable rain suit and it is so-so ok. Keeps me fairly dry and it was pretty . Plus it packs nicely in the saddle bag. I have looked at and want (WANT) either Aerostitch or Klim jackets and keep the HD rain pants. (those work pretty well) The intent with the expensive jackets is that I can wear that all the time on our trips. Then I don't have to stop and change on the road. Good luck on your choice.

They help as a windbreaker, and offer a bit of warmth- better than nothing- in cooler temps. I put mine on when we went up to 8500' in Idaho last summer, temperature went from 80 do 50, and the jacket helped quite a bit till we went back down the other side and temps recovered.

The only time i've been wet under my rain gear is when I put it on too late
