What kind of rain gear do you use?

[Yamerhaw]

i used to have some aerostitch, lost them, now i have some from wal mart and they are just as good in my opinion, been in the pouring rain a couple of times, and stayed completely dry

i wouldnt waste money on expensive ones, just dont get real thin ones that the wind will tear apart

Rain gear? umm, I wear no rain gear here. just standard leather. doesnt bother me any to get soaked.

I bought a rain suit I found on Amazon for less than $20 that's thicker than most other rain suits places like Wal-Mart carry. It held up pretty good on my ride back from the rally (I used it not only as a rain suit but also as a way to keep warm when the temp dropped). Since then I haven't used although I've ridden a few days in the rain on my commute to/from work. Just an extra pair of jeans over my work pants and my leather jacket. I don't mind getting rained on for the short commute to work (and I get their early so I can dry off a little), although it poured buckets on me coming home the other night. Oh well...I wasn't too soaked when I got home.....just my jeans were a little wet.....

Now my hands were a different story and the black dye inside my leather glvoes stained my hands a little.....Grrr.....

I have Frog Togs...and while they've worked awesome so far... they're on their way out. if you look close at mine you can see the water proof lining is split on the back of the arms from all the flapping at speed.


probably would still keep me dry in a down pour... but I need to pickup a Aerostitch suit anyways... as no way in hell I'm gonna set out on the road trip's I'm planning with the frog togs... nope.

Interesting... I've heard only good things about FroggToggs until this thread. (other than the fact that they can kinda tear easily if you pull on them hard.)

I've got a teknic 2pc rain suit.... works great, except the crotch finally split from trying to hang a knee out. (I only use it during track days.)

I've got an old Dry Rider 1 piece suit that I got from my dad many years ago. It's beat to death, has poor ventilation, and the reflective piping has come off, but it'll still keep me bone dry in a monsoon.

A few people have told me that the FroggToggs rip easy if you're in a hurry when putting them on. That's the only negative thing I've heard about them.

The one-piece Teknic suit I borrowed from Kaneman a couple of years ago was AWESOME! It's been discontinued or I would have gotten one. I've found a couple of them on ebay but they're too big for me...although I'm considering getting one and just rolling up the pants and the sleeves like I did to his.
