Rain Gear
I have an Xelement 2-piece suit that works pretty well except the legs are a bit short. If i dont use the boot gaiters, my jeans stick out the bottom and wick up the water up my legs. Other than that, it's way cheaper and keeps me dry... Get the boot covers.
I had a H-D rain suit but it developed a leak in the crotch. It was on the inside liner and was very hard to find. Looked like I pissed my pants every time it rained. I ended up putting electrical tape on the rip. I gave them to my buddy. Now he gets wet pants.
The repair worked until I bought a set of Frogg Toggs and they haven't let me down yet. I’ve been in some very heavy rain storms for many miles.
The last was about 300 miles of heavy rain going up to Detroit.

The bright colors aren't the coolest looking in the store/online...but 9:00 at night on the interstate in the rain I was very happy to have the added piece of mind that I wasn't in all black.
side note - I don't have gators, but wow was I impressed with the lower fairings on my king. After 45 minutes of mostly 50-65mph driving in the rain, my cloth slip-on shoes were about 75% dry on the outside (judged by discoloration).

First set of HD rain gear was useless. Leaked all over the place. Dealer took it back and now hopefully have a better set. Not tried out yet.
