I suppose the answer would be based on which suit you are talking about. The NR I had was cheaply made and I immediately sold it and bought a more expensive HD suit, the Overpass II. I have heard that Foggs Troggs makes a great suit for a bit less. Plus they roll up into a smaller package., something very good to know for stowing in a bag

My advice is don't buy the cheapest one. A good rainsuit is very valuable when you need it. And don't forget some good waterproof boots.

Foggs Troggs.
leave them in my saddle bag and they roll up in a very small pouch. I paid $50 for them at a gander mountain store.
