My wife got me a 2 piece HD rain suit for my Bday last year, I believe it's called the Canal St. Works well , not to hard to get on , stops the wind well too. I busted a zipper on my leather HD jacket on a trip and used my rain coat over a vest an polarfleece pull over and it got me through.

Goin to buy a rainsuit soon. What brand and price range do you guys use? Two piece? One piece?

Doesn't rain much here in the Texas panhandle, but I plan on traveling alot more this year.
I bought mine at the local HD dealer on a 20% off sale weekend.

I've only had to wear it once since I bought it, but it is well worth having when you need it.
It's a nice material that seals up everywheres, and it still thin enough that you won't be sweating.

I have the HD Gore-Tex two piece suit. It's expensive but it will last me forever and you can't beat Gore-Tex. Buy if off the web for 20% less.

In Washington, a rain suit is a good idea. I have a two piece rainsuit made by Nelson-Rigg with venting and leg pads for heat protection. Whole suit was like $100. Since I bought it, it hasn't rained a drop here. Go figure...

You apparently bought the anti-rain suit. ;-)

I gotta get me one of those!

I have one of those anti-rain suits, too, but it only works if it's in my saddlebag. If I leave it at home it loses it's power.

I've been looking at the H-D "OverPass" rainsuit, anyone heard any word on it? I want something that will breath and not roast me inside it.

Frogg Toggs - Light Weight. Lets air in, and keeps rain out. When you have the threat of rain go ahead and put it on and ride, you will not sweat in it. The suit is VERY light weight, I have worn mine all day when it was one of days when it would rain for a little while and then quit for an hour or so. Frogg Toggs is the way to go.

This is the one I have, and here in Northern VA, it works pretty good. Can't say what it will do in Arizona with 110 degree temps, though.
