rickoshay,
&nbsp\\;
good point about the getting them on in a hurry because w/ the wally world ones its difficult at best to put pants on w/out taking off boots first. They are a economical choice and work fine once on. For the longest time I used an old pair of&nbsp\\;Electric boat yellow bib ones that someone had given me. If I wasn't so cheap I'd spring for a good pair.&nbsp\\;Its all about staying dry as much as possible.&nbsp\\;

I have Frog Toggs and they have worked fine. I wore them yesterday in the rain at 60 mph with no worries at all.
It is important to have them easily accessable. I had mine buried and had to unpack a bunch of stuff to get to them. I wont make that mistake again.

ORIGINAL: *NIGHT TRAIN*

Rain Gear = whatever I'm wearing when it rains...yes, it's just that easy...I can honestly say, I started riding in 1967, and know guys who started before me...and I don't know a single person who owns "Rain Gear"...just sayin...
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
+1 on that thought...only time I has ever worn protective trousers was on an old Norton I had that sprayed oil out the head covers to keep the oil off me and my pillion's jeans.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Not a problem now either way as the bike don't leak oil yet and I don't choose to ride in the rain - unless I get caught out.

Just bought the Harley premium one, it has the best reflective material I have seen so far,wont melt to the pipes , got the gaitors also. Got a size too big so I can put in my Army liners for the cold weather.
