Rain gear
Getting ready to go on a couple road trips and was wondering what rain gear you folks use. The suits from hd are very pricey, and was looking for a more economical alternative the works well.

I use a Tourmaster and I bought a Nitro rain suit for my wife. They are both quality but it's hard to beat Tourmaster, it's comfy, easy in and it breathes. I don't like getting wet if I have to possibly ride all day in the rain to get to my destination and I don't want my rain suit to become a sauna. I also use Swiss army surplus wool based leg gaiters as a precaution to protect any rain suit from the pipes. They were about $13. worth of cheap insurance at the military surplus store.

Here's a post I started a little while ago:

I decided on the HD Hi-VIZ. I'm 6' and 175lb. Large fits over my leathers perfectly.

I don't know what size you wear but look on eBay and Craig's List.

This is the same set my wife wears, excellent rain gear.
Make sure the pants have heat shields built into the inner leg.
Good Luck

Frogged togs don't have any reflective gear on them which makes the rider a black blob for lack of a better term when riding in the heavy downpour. Headlight reflect off the harley gear way better. Safety first then cost.
