I use the Hi-Viz Harley rain gear. Kept me dry in some tremendous down pours. Keep an eye on the Gear for Sale forum here, rain gear gets posted on there frequently at great prices.

I have Frogg Toggs Elite series and Harley(boot) gators. Ridden in many a downpour. Never wet yet. Do not sweat either.

All a matter of personal preference.

Another vote for frogg toggs! They're cheap, they breathe, and they don't let water in....what more could you ask for?
