FXRG jacket and pants. Eliminates the need for the rain gear. Pricey but sure works great!

High-Viz with gaiters here. The second Harley starts making their Gore-Tex gear in High-Viz, I'll upgrade.

I have been a big fan of the 1-piece suits and now using a Fieldsheer 1-piece suit with good luck. Not too expensive either at $60 price range. Has built in bag and strap for storage. Nice piece of gear when I need it.

+1 on the Nelson Riggs, good quality, and reasonably priced. I find it hard to pay the money HD wants for their rain gear, just because it has the logo's on it.

You are correct, the jackets & pants are sized to fit over your riding gear. To be safe, bring your gear with you and try them on at the shop.

is that good idea?

I would be afraid of hydroplaning at that speed. Am I overly cautious or realistic? What do you experienced riders think?Should that be a new thread? Sorry if this is a hijack, I am pretty new to HDF and not sure of etiquette.
