It looks like you can pick up the HD "Canal Street" suits pretty cheap on ebay etc. Can anybody recommend these (or not)? Any tips on getting the correct size? (I am usually a Medium - 38" chest, 32-34" waist, 31" inside leg in casual clothes, but "medium" seems to vary a lot in motorcycle gear and I'm not sure if the HD size chart is meant to be interpretted whilst wearing leathers underneath or not!)

I have the old gray/black Overpass suit which is pretty good but folds into a large roll. My wife does not do rain so we just carry the small round HD packable for her for emergencies. Do not know the HD official name but its the lite weight one they carry rolled into a flat circular pack. Its about as small as I've seen. I think they run about $120.

My Heritage bags are different than yours and my suits are different brand but it takes a whole bag for my 2 rain suit complete sets with gaiters.
That's using Cabella's frogg toggs tops and bottoms that come in a bag and HD gaiters.
I have a little spare room like a set of gloves and maps and maybe a bottle of water extra but that's it, well my tool kit is at the bottom always also.

Pitch the bag they came with and get yourself a small compression bag from REI. You can pack those suits a lot smaller.

Very interesting idea, any chance you have a link for that compression bag?
