I've learned not to skimp when purchasing rain gear. I paid $149 for an H-D suit and it's been great! Also, it has been used as cold weather gear when needed.

You can save some money by purchasing a $50 Frogg Togg, for example, but you'll have 50% less protection.

I have this type and it is good/Ok. What is excellent about it is the size. Easy to take with in case. I have some truly excellent rain gear from Tourmaster but the stuff is easily twice as bulky when packed compared to the Harley stuff.

Actually I think the HD ones are pretty decent for the monbey. About 150 or so. Fits pretty well and pants are not like the cheapo clown type ones
