HD High-Visibility suit. Used to just wear Frogg-Toggs, but discovered when riding with friends last Summer, that the HD High-Vis rain suit is really amazing for protection and visibility! It was coming down in 55 gallon buckets and I could still see them in front of me. My Frogg-Toggs were about 90% successful in keeping me dry; my friends were 100% dry...

Worth the money, IMO
The High-Viz is the shiznit. When it's on and properly cinched up, I stay completely dry, even with a half helmet. Rainstorms are by definition low visibility situations. Knowing that I stick out like a sore thumb with that thing on is comforting.
This might be more helpful. I won't say what I am currently using, but I will say not to waste you time or money on the cheap, vinyl rain suits. They will leak, they won't last, they are slow to get in and out of and the melt quickly on hot pipes making a mess of the rain gear and the pipes.
Go for large openings in legs to get boots through in a hurry, and be sure that there are heat protection panels from the ankle to the knees if you can.
Thanks everybody for your posts on the rain gear. I'm going to pickup the Overpass.
Thanks again for the reply.
Good choice. There have been several good options mentioned, but this suit has served me well, from light rain to thunderstorms. Very durable, as well.
