I am going to buy some HD rain gear from Chicago Harley (20% off) and have a question on the sizing.&nbsp\\; I wear a Large in everything (jacket, tee-shirts, ect.), but am not sure if the rain gear is sized a little larger to fit over a leather jacket if needed.&nbsp\\; Should I order a XL or L?&nbsp\\; Probably wouldn't be wearing the leather jacket underneath the rain gear ever- so should I just order a Large?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks for your feedback before I purchase!&nbsp\\;

 

if you find yourself riding in chi. in sept in the evening and its raining you will wan the leathers! size to fit over gear. imo i would look at tourmaster raingear instead of the overpriced hd gear. stay away from gear with zippers down the front of the bibs or suffer a wet crotch!

 

Buy it based on your size.&nbsp\\; It is my understanding and expereince that they are made to fit.&nbsp\\; Too big ( a size up and you'll be flappin in the breeze.)&nbsp\\; I personally think they are well made and love the ability to just stuff them in the pack.&nbsp\\; Easy on too...&nbsp\\; I probably did pay more to have the bar and shield on it... but I like it!

 

I wear large clothing. Bought the large HD rain suit. In my case a heavy leather jacket will just fit with room to move around in. I would suggest trying on your purchase if at all possible.

get it big enough to fit over your leather jacket.&nbsp\\; rain jacket is great for cold or dark too, not just for rain.&nbsp\\; get one with a big reflective HD logo on the back. ya want those cages to see you if you're broken down on the side of the road.

 

No leather...&nbsp\\; order&nbsp\\; a&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; L
with leather...&nbsp\\; XL !

I wear a XXL leather coat, my rain gear is a L and it fits over my coat perfectly.&nbsp\\; Try to get the gear as small as possible so when you ride without your jacket it's not flapping around in the wind.&nbsp\\; Fit it snug but comfortable over your leather.&nbsp\\; Just my $.02

 

Get it the same size as your harley leather. It is made to fit over your jacket with room to move.

I made that mistake once. I bought 2X because I thought it needed to be bigger to fit over, flapped in the breeze and I dreaded riding in the rain. Sold it on eBay. Bought XL HD Rain Gear now and it fits great. I don't think it is overpriced, and it is made well.

You will want to wear your leather in the rain with your rain gear. Many of us have done the 53 degree and rain thing.&nbsp\\;Cold.....

 

I have had several brands of rain gear over the years and most recently purchased a set of Technica Rain gear @ $120+. The HD rain gear is better than all of them. Better fit, better features for ventilation and getting it on in a hurry.(shouldv'e put it on before the rain started, of course!), and better visibility with that big reflective logo on the back. I remember follwing our ride leader&nbsp\\;wearing his through the Blue Ridge mountains in the rain at night. Made a tough situation very bearable.

 

Go with HD on this one. But first go to a HD shop and try one on w/ your riding jacket to make sure you will order the right size. Also Chicago HD as a rep for back ordering their product and delaying your shipment.
