Default Raingear....

Wanting to extend my riding season while I'm here in the NW.
Whats the low down on good rainriding gear?
All I have is my FXRG jacket and chaps.
Chaps are really fun when the water funnels down the tank and onto my crotch!
Shrinky dink at 70mph.........[sm=happy046.gif]
Any rain riding tips?
Thanks!!!

A good rain suit that I have had good luck with is "Frogg Toggs" They actually breathe well and are very waterproof.

I second Frogg Toggs, they are cheap, pack small and light, breathe so you do not sweat as much and can be had cheap, though they can leak some in hi-friction areas like your crotch.

I have first gear rain suits, 2 peice so I can wear just the jacket or just the pants, they have done me good for 10 years and they work good..but there are many good suits out there, I'm sure somebody will recommend some other ones.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but are there any openings in your club? If what it says on your logo is criteria for membership, I'm fully qualified.
