THe HD Hi-Viz suits are really well made and perform very well. Bought mine last years with gators, and picked one up for my wife last week.

Nice thing about the HD Hi-Viz suits is that for men and women, the inside leg surface is covered with Nomex. No more melted suits on hot pipes.

Hopefully you get the idea.

yeah, I did. I'm fairly new here, hate to bother you-guess everyone who hangs here has to respond to every post, huh? You spent more time responding than I would have, hell, you wasted several minutes just letting me know 'ain't nobody got time for that'. Appreciate it

Depends how much you are willing to pay... HD suits are nice but you will pay for them, First gear, Olympia, nelson rig all have good quality suits... Depends also what you expect from a suit... do you want something you can wear for days in a row or just something light to get you out of a storm ????

I'm just thinking out on the road, I'd like to stay dry. Bought a disposable suit, a walwart light plastic two piece deal, while traveling through North Carolina. Wore it maybe 200 miles on the way to Charleston and it looked like it was field dressed by the time I arrived. Something solid that would last a few years would be good, at least a lot better.

Evidently it helped you to occupy your time, so in that regard it was beneficial I suppose!

To the OP; I bought a cheap one off one of the generic motorcycle web-sites. Think it cost $49, the wife's was $10 less. I try not to use it, but in the times I have it has kept me dry. It is several years old and still like new. I would recommend you buy one that you can put on without removing your boots/shoes.
