On my way back from VT 2 years ago I rode the whole way back in constant heavy downpour. Now, I may have felt wet but when I did finally get home, more hours later than I care to admit 
I was dry.
The only alteration I made to them (crafty as I am
) I ironed on a large black denim patch to the bottom of each of the inside legs as I did not want them melting on my pipes. All in all - good rain gear considering the low price.

I disagree. my experience with frogg toggs is terrible. Maybe good for golf or hunting but not bikes. Yes, they melt but they leak through the zipper too. They suck and I learned the hard way. I was soaked just as if I had no rain gear on at all. Ended up paying for the harley stuff later and it is outstanding. you get what you pay for.

I never thought about that but you're right...
At the time I bought mine (Americade) they were out. I already got it in my head with the patch and knew exactly what I was going to do when I got home.

I did this on my rain pant. It looks a little sloppy, but I'm the only one that'll see it.
I do believe you can order them direct from Frogg Togg. I'm sure your method is just as effective.
When I first inquired about Frogg Togg some years back, they didn't have the heat shield patch. Their suggestion was what camsmith did and use the ironing board material.
