Default Rain gear????

I am looking in to purchasing some rain gear. So I am asking the wisdom on the forum. Leaning to the Overpass II from H.D.cost is $120.. Does anyone have a set. What are the pros and cons? Or is there a set that you would get instead of that set.

I use the 2 pc packable suit from H-D. Cost $139. but, it's served me well for over 5 years. Either one would be a good choice.

I've tried different rain gearover the years.
When it rains I still ride.
I don't look for the next exit or the closest bridge to tuck under.
I just keep riding.
To date Nelson Rigg rain gear has been the best.

Check out J.P. They have one set of rain gear that is outrageous quality for the price. I have owned a few different types over the years and this is the best for the money, hands down.

Yep.. I have a guard for the right leg of my Toggs that is made of material that looks like the cover for an ironing board. Keeps the material from melting if it touches the pipes.
