electaRICK mid line HD,,,, good stuff,,,
My opinions:
#1) cheap a$$ thin nylon - not even worth $20 IMHO.
#2) PERFECT!!! Great quality and workmanship - almost like a dressy raincoat - with or without your leathers.
#3) too heavy - bulky.
THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This forum is invaluable when you are looking to get the most bang for the buck!!!!!!!

I have #3 ,coat is a good fit,but the pants are way to long. both coat and pants have kept me dry through 5 heavy downpours so far,i'm pleased with the overall quality,but unhappy about the extremely long legs on the pants.wish the coat and pants on these were sold seperately for those of us who have shorter legs

RE: Rain Gear recommendations???
Here is another thought for ya,... Wife and I are planning a fly&ride this July Anchorage to Artic Circle... I know we are going to see some rain.. Two years ago we rode up the west coast to Hyder AK - east to Jasper and back to CA... We found rain... We really get tired of on,off,on, off with the rain gear..... So, this year I bought these
http://www.roadgear.com/catalog/detail.cfm?Prod_ID=216
and the wife and I each got a pair of these
http://www.lapolicegear.com/5taat8wasizi.html
This way, we are protected all the time - will leave the chaps at home and run the Roadgear. Then when we see rain ahead - all we have to do is don our rain jackets over our leather jackets....
Why didn't I go Roadgear jackets??? - spent enough extra on the pants and boots... Plus, I Really like my jackets and we have found the rain jacket over the Leathers give extra warmth and that may be needed...
I have learned - if you are riding in the rain and do NOT have good gear - They ain't nothin worse than wet leathers... will really ruin a ride...
stay dry and safe
