Default Rain suit recommendations

Thinking about maybe purchasing a rain suit, anybody own one they'd recommend or maybe one they'd caution against?

The Harley Hi-Viz works very well, but I think you're better served with a waterproof Gore-Tex overpant (like the Aerostich AD-1) and a waterproof riding jacket (look at the Olympia Ranger).

All of our recommendations are the same as the last time someone started a thread asking that question and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before.

Hopefully you get the idea.

I have the Harley Hi-Viz and it works very well. Got it along with the gators to cover my boots and it got a good test in South Dakota last year, I stayed dry. It's expensive but high quality.

PFWIZ has a point, but I purchased Hogg Toggs for the wife and me, they seem to work pretty well. Anywhere they covered was not wet. Make sure you buy them big enough to go over everything.

Wow, did you actually type all of that or did you just hit your computer keyboard that many times?

I'm pretty sure that you missed one ... OR ... Maybe I just lost count?

Walmart sells some by Coleman for under $25. Or you can pay $125 for the Harley one made by the same Chinese or Taiwan company. No real need to over think this.

Harley Davidson rain suits work very well. I've owned one for years and usually wind up buying one for the GF as well.

The GFs never complain about the HD rain suits which tell me they must be OK.

I actually wore my Nelson-Rigg AS-3000 Aston Hi Visibility 2-piece Rain Suit while riding the Gauntlet on Sunday when the rain came down. THis was the 1st time I had a need for it and it did exactly what it as intended to do. It kept my butt dry ....
