Default Touring Rain Gear

The wife has decided she want's to try a one piece rain suit. I looked at all the suppliers on the internet, and can't decide which one to try Do any on the forum wear one piece and what is your opinion of them?

My wife has a two-piece and it keeps her warm and dry; when it starts to warm up she takes the pants off and will leave the top on until later. We use our rain gear when we travel across our higher mountain passes. They act as really great windbreakers and the option of taking them off one piece at a time is something my wife likes.

I use the Triumph 1pc and will never go back to using anything else. Only rainsuit I've ever had that actually kept me dry. Takes a couple of practice tries to put it on when you first get it though. LOL.

Stay away from a 1-piece, too much hassle at stops. I just rode through a monsoon last Friday and yesterday on my Night Train. 400+ miles at highway speeds in a Harley High-Viz suit and I was completely dry when I got home.

+ 1 on the harley high vis suit. I have two one for me and her. Two piece comes in handy when your out on one of those afternoon or evening were it cools down more than you expected. You can use the top as a light jacket when needed.

Do the goretex ones work as I seem to sweat and get too hot in the PVC type. Theyre like wearing a plastic bag

Wish I could find the answer my Harley suit is about 10 years old, keeps you dry but the pants are a real pia to put on. Between my rain suit and the wifes they use up almost 1 entire saddlebag.

+1 on the two piece. I use this Nelson Riggs ( I don't advertise for HD any more than necessary) suit and stay bone dry. Highly recommended https://www.leatherup.com/p/Motorcyc...uit/86738.html
