Who makes the best rain gear????
« on: March 28, 2014, 09:33:28 PM »
So I'm looking for rain gear and have used Frogg Toggs in the past and not so good. So I'm on the prowl for a good set that wil LAST. What does everyone like and dislike?

We have hand me down Road Master gear from my wife's aunt and uncle. We're very please with it. No issues at all. I do like the thought of some Hi Vis gear though. We got caught in the rain on every trip last year. We started packing our safety vest we got with the Steel Toe tour we took at the York Plant last May and wear them also when we get caught in the really hard rain.

I've ridden through lots of rain. We have to be careful with plastic or rubberized gear because of hot pipes. I find my chaps and heavy leather jacket works fine for short to mid runs, but if you're  looking at hours on the road, Exelement is a good choice based on your description.

Have the HD FXRG gear from a few years ago - the Goretex suit. Expensive but very high quality. Been through some heavy rain and it kept me dry as a bone. Highly recommended!

Gotta disagree with Donald P. Have had the same Hi-Vis for 13yrs. If you are careful with the neck area, bone dry. Really wanted the FXRG, but don't play in the rain enough to justify.

Move up north and you'll appreciate the FXRG a bit more  :huepfenjump3:

Works as rain gear and is my go to winter riding gear

+2 on the HD Hi-Vis.  Keeps me dry and very visible.  Not too cold in FL  so warmth is not an issue!

I have HD rain gear and very happy with it. Now the old cheap HD stuff I had for years now that was junk. Not enough Velcro on the legs and they would blow up like a baloon :'(

Ride over to Duluth and check out Aerostitch. The Darien light pants or AD1 pants are great.
