Frog toggs SUCK! \\; if you sit still water soaks through at the crotch and Ive had two blow out at the shoulder. VERY not worth the money. Spend a little more and get a Harley suit. Frogg toggs dont hold up to biker wear.

Just picked up the gaitors from Harley yesterday, also got the hi vis suit.

How is the high visibility suit \\;in warm temperatures? Does it make you sweat?
I'm 5'11", 175lbs, so I don't normally sweat unless I am very hot- hence, a weight problem isn't factored into sweating in \\;rain gear for me.

I appreciate everyones input on their specific Harley rain gear.
 \\;
If I was going to ride in the rain I would splurge for the Gore-Tex, but the rain gear is going to be packed in my saddlebags only when there is a chance for rain- otherwise I'll take the cage on a day like today when they are calling for a 60% chance of thunderstorms, and possible hail.

I picked up the Harley Hi-Viz last week and got the chance to break it in last week during Laconia Bike Week. I rode thru some hard soaking rain and stayed bone dry.
I highly recommend it.

Another vote for the Hi Viz! Used it the other day and I like the features a lot especially that the legs are tight and don't flapp going down the road!

If you want cheap go to Wal Mart. You can trash it after the rain. I try couple different types and I still Like mine from harley dealer. Sorry they cost a little more. And they don't roll that small. But I ride everyday winter and summer.

Despite what Stearn's site says, I got both pieces for $90. Bought them 'cause I needed rain gear right then and Walmart was my only option. I really like the quality though. Only downside\\; the pants don't have stirrups so they ride up, but I can get those sewn in.
