Thank you for responding. Frogg Toggs will be the way I go for rain gear for the wife and I.
Now, I have two other questions. I wanted to install a front fender extention, but upon trying the remove the four allen head bolts that hold the fender on, one of the four was in so tight that I stripped out the allen head, and the allen wrench! Now what? Take it to the dealership I'm guessing to have them mess with it? what a pain in the butt.
Second question: If I have already made an attempt to buy a ground loop isolator for eliminating the "whine" sound through my Sirius Satellite Radio System but still have the "whine" sound along with bad distorted music, should I move on to another ground loop isolator?

Frogg Toggs are excellent. These breath so well you will be cold riding thru most rain unless u have a sweater under them. Very dry!

Another vote for Frogg Toggs. I did about 100 miles in them a while back in a pretty good rain and thought they did a great job. Breathable fabric makes all the difference. Hard to find better protection for $50

Hope you looked at the "new" frog togg for motorcylcing. It is a Black nylon outershell with glow stips. pants have a strap that goes under your boot to keep the legs down. Pants and jacket are double storm flapped on all pockets and zippers. legs have lower zippers for easy on-easy off. jacket hood goes under helmet for dry neck and backside.
pants also have side zippers to get to you regular pant pockets.
they have thought of everything.
Had to use it 3 times and it is great.
I have the regular froggtoggs, prior to getting these.
A little more expensive, but I think they will last a lot longer...

Hi "D"
Believe it or not, I own a Harley rain suit and I have riden 100's of miles in the rain. It kept me as dry as a bone. Another suit I can recommend is 'First Gear'. I have a few hundred miles on that one too, and it's excellent. Go with the two piece jobs and get it big enough to cover your cold weather gear. The only part of me that did get damp was the collar of my sweatshirt. Frogg Toggs are good too!

Default Another vote for Frogg Toggs

Over the years I've used several different rain suits, including a very expensive one from Harley when I rode a Road King.

My latest is Frogg Toggs, which I've used several times in Colorado and stayed dry every time. They work great, pack small and are very inexpensive.

Can't go wrong with these.
