IDUNNO ABOUT ANY FROG BUT HD'S RAIN GEAR (HYDRA) WORKS UNBELIEVABLY WELL. IVE OWNED IT FOR MANY YEARS, IVE BEEN THRU TORRENTIAL RAIN AND EVEN HAIL THRU SOUTH DAKOTA.. THEIR RAIN GEAR IS UNSURPASSED IMO. WE'VE ALL BOUGHT THE $25 RAIN GEAR AT BIKE EVENTS .. ITS ALL GARBAGE. SPEND THE $$ AND BUY THE RIGHT GEAR !

In a pinch and for easy carry...a 55 gallon Hefty lawn bag! Hell, carry half a dozen so you can rainproof your gear too!

Try a search. Just had a thread about this a couple days ago. Remember, Just because it says HD on it and costs $150.00 doesn't mean it's that good. I've had $30.00 suits that were better. Never tried Frogg Toggs.Never liked the look of them.

FROGG TOGGS... Light weight - Folds up to nothing - Really works well - But keep you legs away from any heat....

Depends what you want. Garbage bags work in a pinch but expect "some" leakage. Similar with the "cheap" rain gear types.

Good rain gear also means dollars. You want something that will
last more then one time. Two piece sets have worked the best for me. I actually got a set from an HD dealer at a really good price, shocking as that is!

I'm sure this will be like asking about tires, you'll get 100 answers
with 100 different opinions!

FROGG TOGGS..good rainwwear, but as stated.....melts in the heat wwaaaayyy too easy! In fact I'm not sure you can keep your legs far enough away from your exhaust to be affected. Wouldn't be my first choice!
