I like the HD overpass. Don't buy a cheap rain suit. If you get caught in 1 downpour, the good suits are worth their money.

The Frogg Toggs have always worked well for me and the wife. Lightweight and pack well. Been in some serious downpours and stayed dry.

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.

H-D High Visibility rain suit for sure!

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.

Its worth the buck-fifty for sure.

HD's HANDS DOWN, frogg toggs arent going to last and no stirrups. The quality on the HD's are VERY impressive!!! I'd never go with anything else

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 nor HD's rain suites come in tall sizes. I got mine from Cabela's, and they work great.

My wife and I have the HD high Vis. Fit's good and keeps us dry. I don't think they are over priced for the quality.
