the high vis also has velgro on the cuffs and the neck,elastic waist,folds fairly small into a bag, has a heat patch on the lower legs so it wont melt on your pipes,and most dealers will let u mix sizes(for me it was L on the pants and 2XL so the jacket would go over my gut and coat) got em for you guessed it hundred dollars.
Like you, I used this forum before buying mine and I'm glad I did. I road from Greeley, Colorado to Las Vegas, New Mexico in steady and rain back in mid June and I stayed DRY.
while i don't doubt that the hd suits are great, if you don't want to spend a lot of money, my experience has also been great with the frogg togs. keep you dry, and don't cost much at all. also pack very small and light.
Frogg Toggs has some new ones out for the Motorcycle Rider (Bass Pro)
Dallas to Kansas City mid May 450mi of 586mi rain, only thing wet face and beard
$59.95 + tax for the portly ones
