Well at the risk of being called a RUB a Douche A Wannabe etc... Tried several makes of raingear over 40 years of riding and the best lightweight and easiest storing is HD That simple...

I have the OverPass II also. Good stuff. I rode through a full day's worth of rain and stayed dry.

I've had great luck with the Packable Rain suit, along with the Lug Sole Rain Gaiters.

I wear the tourmaster and love them. Two piece is much better than one and you still stay dry. Good price, cheaper than Harley and has the leg guards.

I have to go with the Overpass II Rain Jacket and Pant from HD. I have and use other rain gear but you have to call it good rain gear. I never get wet under my rain suit. But I will get wet feet and wet gloves. I do have a rain coat for the gloves and boots did not like wear them.

I have the hi viz that papi linked .. Mine was $150.00 a year ago ..

I agree with Jay , after doing it for near 40 years , always go to HD , never been disappointed with the raingear ..

This suit is also good over your clothes if you like riding in cold weather .. I have worn it over my clothes down around freezing cause I didnt wanna go back inna house and fight with the winter coveralls ..

I'm not going to knock the HD stuff, but you could almost buy two of these for one of those:

Nelson Rigg VTL700 Volante 2 Piece
Made from 100% wind/waterprooft Tri-Max™ nylon. Full nylon lining with mesh venting panels for comfort when worn over leathers and other clothing. Completely adjustable zippered underarm and full back ventilation system. Hi Brite 3M reflective safety striping and logo on both jacket and pants. Two large outer pockets with one zippered large inner pocket. Comfort stretch elasticized belt adjusters. Adjustable hook and loop and elasticized cuffs for snug and comforatble fit. Pants feature fully ad justable suspenders and heat resistant panels on legs to protect from pipes and engine. Large 17`` zipper gussets with stirrups for easy boot entry with adjustable cuffs and waist.

I've worn mine through days of rain and stayed dry and toasty. I got it from http://www.mawonline.com/newsite/nelson_riggs-suits.htm
