Duck oil - it keeps them dry.

I went with a Tour Master suit, and bought some other boot covers. The suit did a good job of keeping me dry, but it did allow some water to drip down my back from the helmet. I paid $75 for it several years ago and it's still good today.

I had a Dry Rider rain suit for about 15 years and thought it was time for a new one with modern up to date features.

I decided on the H-D Hi-Vis yellow suit because it has the most reflective material then any other suit on the market and that means a lot to me. In the past I wouldn't go near a H-D suit because they were black/dark orange. Who in their right mind would ever wear a black rain suit.

Good luck with all those cheap suits with no heat resistant legs.
My olny gripe with the H-D suit is the velcro on the leg openings. it is so agressive that trying to keep the legs open to get your feet threw is a major undertaking. I think I'm going to somehow cover most of the velcro strips - that should help. Anyone else have any ideas?
I haven't seen very many negitive posts on the H-D suit(almost none - except on the price), but a lot on the others suits about one thing or another.
It's like anything else in life - no two things are the same. You can get a great trouble free suit and the next guy buying the same suit might get a defective suit - it's a roll of the dice and Harley's suit just seem to have the better luck.
