    Rain Gear !!!

    If there was one thing I wud buy from Harley Davidson that wud be their clothes. I really like their rain gears. If only it did not have a HD logo.

    I guess I can get generic one from cycle gear but their stuff is useless after few uses. I really want some quality product that is going to last forever like Honda

    Any Suggestions....

    Helly Hansen makes a nice rain jacket and pants with reflective piping. Think it cost me $75.

    "Full" Rain Gear

    I own British Motorcycle Gear "Discovery" jacket & "Pioneer" pants, fully armored, fully waterproof.
    Not inexpensive.

    Rode through "really cold rain" several times (didn't want to write 'freezing rain') and had no issues.
    Had the set for 5 seasons now and the gear is still very new looking and holding up well.
    I wish I had gotten a slightly larger waist and slightly longer inseam in the pant though....

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Dry Feet

    Along with my "rain gear" I purchased a pair of "Spider Feet"! They are, IMHO, the "Cat's A$$". Versatile and easy to stow with their own pouch they sure keep the feet dry and allow easy shifting. They have rubber soles

    One of the best rain suits I ever purchased was a DriRider. Can't seem to find that brand here, a Google search shows it is available in Australia. Still can't find a domestic reseller of DriRider products. I'd still be wearing it, but you know how it goes, it just don't fit anymore!!

    +1 on the frogtogs.

    curious, spider feet like this: http://www.amazon.com/Spider-Waterpr.../dp/B00DHVIXDU ?

    the one review said they melt. most things will against hot pipes though...

    Frogtogs are the only thing that fit my 6'5" 400lb body and keep me dry in inclement weather. I won't travel with out them in my ditty bag.
    Now if it is an emergency and you need something fast and cheap look at Home Depot or Lowes for some DuPont TY122S Disposable Elastic Wrist, Tyvek Coverall Suit, under $10 they usually come with booties and will keep you dry.
