Gore-tex gauntlets, and Danner (gore-tex) boots with Rain Covers.

I also wear a 3/4 helmet and keep a face shield with the rest of my snivel gear.

I have already been caught in the rain several times this Spring. My friend is a Tourmaster dealer, so I got my rain gear at cost.

If you want to have a little less on YOU and let the BIKE help you stay dry, check out the Desert Dawgs rain guards: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/harl...n-rain-guards/ (also hand guards - you could use lighter gloves or no gloves and be able to grip better...)

I use the "Overpass" HD suit. It works well for me in Florida. If it's really pouring or a long ride in a steady rain, always put on the hood under your helmet. You stay much drier that way.

Have Harley Hi Vis, water proof gauntlets, 3/4 helmet with shield and boot covers. I stay dry with no complaints even in downpours.

HD Lynx waterproof Boots

I am 6'3", with a 34" inseam. I wanted rain pants that were long enough and finally found them at Squadfitters. They are police pants, very high quality and they come in short, regular or long. I ordered the stirrups so they were $81, and well worth it. I was in a flash flood downpour and was absolutely dry.

I have a First Gear Rain Jacket for hot days when I don't wear my textile jacket or waterproof leathers (Thank you Doc Bailey). I rarely use it.

I use a HJC FF helmet all the time. I keep it polished with Honda spray wax, or Novus Plastic Polish and rain beads up nicely. If I clean with eyeglass cleaner, I can't see crap when it is raining.

I use Wells-Lamont Men's Farm PVC gloves. They are green. If they were Black with a HD shield logo, they would be $30. But in farmer green they are $3, and work perfect. If it is a cold rain, get them on before you get wet.

HD rain gear. My normal riding boots. I have lowers and it blocks most of the rain. And I picked up a pair if goggles from Walmart. They are made for jet skis. No nose cover just the eyes. They were $15 and work amazing! Just rode in a 2 hour downpour Sunday with them. Def worth every penny. No fogging. Very happy with them.

I have used a cheap, less than $50, rain suit for over 5 years now. Bought it on line at some MC site I can't remember. (Bought the wife one also that was a little cheaper because it was smaller.) Have lowers so feet protection is not a problem. I wear a flip face now because doc said no more sun, and I haven't rode in the rain since changing helmets. Before that, I wore a 1/2 or 3/4. Just crouched down behind the windshield a little bit and got a along pretty well doing that. The cheap rain suit has always kept the both of us dry. I can't see paying $100 - $200+ for a rain suit! Maybe if I rode in the rain every day.........

I recently bought one of those high visability vests for $5. I wear it over my black rainsuit.

Anothre idea I came up with......while leaving on the trip from Atlanta to Daytona, I decided to wear my rubber mucking books, then pull on the rain suit pants. This worked so well, I'll be carrying these on all my long rides............just a thought. That and they were very cheap.
