Rain suits
Never needed a rain suit before so I would like a little help deciding. One piece, 2 piece or a 2 piece suit with a hood. Does a hood actually work with a helmet? What say you? Thanks

2 piece, hi vis, get a good one, dont cheap out.
As for a hood, never used one. Dont think it would help. Rather us a full face helmet but dont carry one.
On pants, make certain they have the material on inside of the legs for hot pipes, dont want a melted rain suit,
For coat, zipper and velcro With good neck coverage.
Buy a size larger than needed to get over other clothes

I would go with 2 piece suit, easier to deal with. A 2 piece can be put on in stages as needed (ex. wearing just the bottoms after a rain to shield from road spray). Also, on more than one occasion I have used just the top as a wind breaker when an unexpected cold front moves in.
I know people rag on HD about everything being made in China, but the HD gear is really well thought out and effective. I am sure there are other brands that work well, but the Harley riding gear has never let me down.

I have an old HD set of bibs and jacket. With new HD raingear at 200 bucks, you might want to check out Joe Rocket, Frog togs or tour master if you don't have to have a logo.
