H-D Hi Vis is good stuff. Rode in many a rainy day with it last season and stayed dry every time.

The set of ABU pattern I have let water pool at the crotch on the bike, and then it soaks though. Not the best for riding in the rain.

**Edit add: I did have BDU pattern before we changed uniforms, but didn't ride with it. I'd imagine the same result though, they aren't that much different.

Any Harley rain gear. I have the Overpass and it is outstanding for keeping me dry in real gully washers, it does not flap in the wind and does not melt or burn on pipes. Highly recommend it. I paid $150 a few years ago for pants and jacket. May be higher now.

Jafrum has a set for $39 with gortex patches on the legs to keep them from melting.

HD Reflective Skull Rain Suit. A little pricey, but well worth it, IMO.

Tourmaster rain gear has a strip of "Nomex" on the inner legs to prevent melting on hot exhaust pipes.

+1 -- if the leg gets a melt-thru, they're relatively cheap to replace. Local Cabela's has Toggs on sale right now for $25 (reg $60), so I'm gonna get a new set(!)
