I need a new rain suit and am leaning toward the Hi-Viz..if it's Gore-Tex, it's a done deal, but I'm not seeing any proof of that. Typically any garment that contains GT has it heavily promoted as such.

No, the Harley Hi-Viz suit isn't Gore-Tex. I was referring to my Aerostich pants and my Teknic jacket (which is a no-name version of Gore-Tex).

I have been wearing the Hi Vis HD rain gear now for 4 seasons. I ride an ultra Classic, and we go on long trips, coast to coast to coast..... I have never burned the leg on a pipe. I have remained dry riding in heavy downpours, for hours.... in fact we rode 5 days of solid rain on our way back from Sturgis 2016... and remained dry while booking the miles.

I like the Hi Vis yellow, and on dull days, or really heavy freeway traffic will put it on just for visability.... Drivers might ignore us, but there is no missing us in this gear.
