I got a decent one that folds into a fannie pack from J&P cycles last year at Daytona bike week. It went for $70. Bright safety colors as well.

they fold up into the hood, about eight inches in diameter when in the hood.

wanted something light, easy to pack in saddlebags and leave there.
I do not have it personale but a few of my buddies do and love it does the job in the rain and packs up nice and small. Good for individuals with limited space. Litte price for what is it at $100.00 though.

Another Frogg Togg user here. There are three basic styles, good, better & best (Elite). I went with the better style costed around $60 shipped to my door. It has reflective piping and stronger seams than the cheaper version. I also bought a heat resistant patch for $6 to solve the melting problem.

Default gotta be honest

Just bought the new Frogg Toggs signature bullfrog rain jacket and pants 54.00 with tax at a Houston Tx sporting goods store. All I can say is I am dry thru 2 Days of driving rain... I mean absoute soaking down pours. 78 degrees 90% humidity, sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for 30 mins. I didnt prespire a bit, and trust me, Im a sweater. The new suit has Velcro and zippers on the bottom so it dosnt ride up, vecro cuffs on the sleeves, storm flap down the front. These next generation toggs are worth looking into. I have never had a rainsuit that I didnt prespire in, kinda defeats the purpose. Guess you can call me a happy camper-Boom

I've got a First Gear rain jacket that keeps me dry, but doesn't breathe well and I wear backpacking gore tex overpants for the lower half. My set up is getting old too (about 10 years) and needs replacing.

I'm also in WA State. Take a look at the Firstgear Rainman set. Tough jacket and the pants have a zip lower to slip over boots. Plus melt proof material from the knee down. Got mine at Bent Bike in Lynnwood.
