I wear a Tourmaster Defender rainsuit.
First, I don't need to be a moving billboard for HD, second I see no reason to pay much more (triple) for basically the same stuff in different colors, third, the quality is excellent, perfectly waterproof, fits well, straps to keep the legs down over the boots, folds in a small pouch etc....
But it's your money, spend it the way you want.

 

I bought the HD Gore Tex rainsuit ten years ago. I've worn it in all day multi day heavy rains and it has always kept me dry. Paid a ton of money but, amortized over a decade it's cheap.
I also bought a set of Frogg Toggs as a spare rainsuit to have/leave in Fla. when I'm there, it leaked, I brought it back and was given another........it leaked.
Don't cheap out, pony up the cash and get a good quality preferably Gore Tex rainsuit.
HD makes the best.

 

I've ridden hundreds of miles in rain, and don't want a cheap suit. With that said, I bought a Tourmaster Defender suit and the first time I wore it the zipper pulled apart and the front of my shirt got soaked. The same thing happened last week in the mountains. The suit looks well made, but it has a cheap zipper. I used a pair of pliers to squeeze the slider together, and it seems to be holding together now. I'll find out the next rain.

 

If your looking this site has plenty and some are very inexpensive www.jafrum.com I was looking and ended up with on eo ftheir suits that ran $39.00, it's made with 600 denier nylon and as good as any HD suit I've seen. They also have higher priced brands as well. Read the reviews on the ones that interest you, you'll be amazed at the good comments on some of the less expensive suits. I can tell you they are legitimate reviews. Luckily for me the warehouse is located here, so I was able to go and try on suits, and still purchased the cheaper ones due to the quality behind them. First time I ever saw where inexpensive/cheap didn't mean garbage.

 

i got a nelson rigg rain suit and am pleased and not broke

 

I purchased the HD HiVis last year when planning to ride to Laconia. Didn't make it last year, made it this year and only need the rain gear for one day of bike week. Put it on and headed for the coast and rode into Massachusetts. Stayed dry the whole day. Made it so I could go out riding instead of sitting around the hotel watching the rain like everyone else. On the way home I needed it again and it did very well at highway speeds, stayed dry and didn't flap around too much.

 

Wife and I bought a set of Frogg Toggs, they were not the motorcycle suits. We got caught in a downpour for about 90 miles. We were wet, rain soaked thru the seat of the pants. Bought a set of Harley Hi-Visibility suits, have rode in rain several times, once was an extreme downpour, stayed as dry as powder. Also got got the rain gaiters to go over shoes, they are well worth the money. Harley suit was expensive but when you first put it on and see the features of the suit and the ease o putting on and getting it off you will love it. Also as state before you can get close to exhaust with Frogg Toggs and you will burn a hole in it. Harley suit has a heat shield built into the leg. Frogg Toggs are dark colored and hard to see in low visibilt, Harley suit has bright orange, shows up well. I had seen people in a ride when it was raining, Hi-Vis suit was the brightest in the ride. I would recommend it to anyone.

 

If I can't be seen well enough in a downpour I can't see well either so it's safer to stop.
Oh and it's also been my experience that there are a lot more people talking about riding in the rain than actually doing it. I just have to look at the number of bikes at our local bike nights when the forecast calls for rain.
I'm just sayin'......

 

+1, had about 5 rainsuits over the past 40 some years, and have found the HD brand to be the best.

 

I am confused about this post ...
You say you stop if visibility is bad, ... but then complain about the number of bikers that talk about riding in the rain but don’t do it ???

I have news for you. Between the rain coming down ( and the speed which you are hitting it at,) the spray coming off tires, and the less then adequate lighting, visibility is ALWAYS reduced when it is raining!!!

Because I ride an Ultra I prefer to ride in the back of a pack so cagers will see us when they come up behind us ( I replaced the LED fender-tip light with a fender-tip running/brake light for the added attention getter.)
But I am most often the lead bike, and when I am and it starts to rain, I prefer to have someone else lead so I can move to the back, again for visibility reasons. My white bike ( white gold pearl / pewter pearl ) with all those red lights on the back can be seen by other drivers ( i.e. cagers ) more then most bikes.

I have been a professional driver in one form or another for almost all of my adult life ( excluding time spent in The Corps ) and understand conditions that lead to accidents.

So, going back to the OP’s question AND my original post, I chose the Hi-Vis rain suit.
In less then optimal visibility situations, ANYTHING that can make you more visible to cagers is going to help keep you and those you are riding with safer ( IMHO.) Keeping dry is an added benefit but should not compromise safety.

One note here, something I am perplexed at: HD offers their High-Vis Rain suit in original orange and the newer yellow .... ?

The ANSI requirements/suggestions have changed over the years, but include both orange and yellow. Yellow has become more popular in the last couple of years. I can tell you from experience yellow is more noticeable during the daylight, but in limited visibility situations ( such as rain, or especially snow ) the orange is going to stand out much better ( IMHO. ) And in my case, with the white bike the contrast is exceptionally noticeable.
