I don’t always look at the entire thread before moving on or posting so if someone else mentioned this then put me down as a +1 or +2 or whatever. Go to eBay, type in motorcycle rain suit and you will find a selection (88 at the moment) to include Frogg Toggs. The Frogg Toggs (new with tags) run from $40 - $50 with free shipping.

I tour extensively and stoppingisn't always an option, unless you're in a downpour.Last summer, during an all day rain storm, I rode+300 miles from Chicago to St. Louis.I could care less if mybike got wet.TheJoe Rocket textile suit and totes boots I wore kept me perfectly dry and warm.

Just make sure you buy rain gear that will fit over your leather if need be,and something that you can move in. Never buy gear that is too tight.

I got a deal on AGV rain gear.... but Tourmaster has some pretty good stuff. look for melt-proof material on both legs, because you WILL touch a leg to a pipe....Mesh inside the gear keeps the outer layer from getting all "clamy" against you....

OK, here comes the "mine is the best" thread. Frog Toggs can't be beat, but it's about one's preferences.

Frog Toggs here for me and the wife. I try not to ride in the rain and I like how small they pack up. If my butt gets a little wet I'm OK with that.

Sometimes you HAVE to be in the rain. Ever ride in South Dakota? You can go for hours and never see an overpass, tree, building, or even a cow to hide under.

H-D two piece suit with grippy butt piece so you don't slide on the seat.
