Default RE: Rain Gear Selection

I've gone through several types of suits. HD is nice because of the reflective stuff they put on them, but the most comfortable and rainproof that I have found are Frogg Toggs. When I bought them I thought that there was no way it would work, but I have been greatly surprised. I would never spend big money on the plastic suits again.

Chief, I bought some Frogg Toggs and haven;t worn them yet, but was pretty disappointed. Do yours kind of look and feel like they're made of paper. They sure don't look durable. Does this describe yours or did I just make a mistake by not buying the most expensive ones? TIA, Art

after reading the reviews from MC magazine i bought the HD 3/4 with th pants and they worked great, first ride after buying them we got caught up in about a 150 miles of a down pour and stayed dry. The bib type pants with suspenders work well and getting them on and off was a breeze, qwe paid $200 its not goretex but they do have plenty of vents and i stayed cool and dry.
