After getting caught twice in the rain this past weekend, we decided we need to get a good, lightweight rain suit that we can keep in a backpack for summer riding. We have heavier jackets with a rain layer, but I'm looking for something small that can be kept in a bag and just thrown on when it starts to rain in the summer riding season. I saw some other posts for Frog Troggs, but I also read that they leak. Any other recommendations from those that have them?

Frog togs

I have a frog togg. They don't leak but they are not visible at night or when is dark. You should get a motorcycl rain suit with visible strips,like Tourmaster.

We get heavy monsoons here and I'm using a Olympia Horizon jacket and pants. No leaks. Really well built. Great adjustment points so it doesnt flap in the wind. I got the black/Hi-Viz yellow. It folds and compresses into itself for easy storage.

Frogg Toggs Highway Toadz
have reflective piping and a 2" reflective stripe on the back. Down here in Florida Frogg Toggs are great in a downpour. No leaks, but I don't ride at 70 mph in rain either.

Good Stuff

We bought Motocentric 2 piece rain suits and boot covers from motorcycle superstore 2 years ago, they are still holding up. We haven't had to use them often, but we keep them on the bikes at all times. The suits are fairly inexpensive, but I noticed the price today is about 20$ more then we paid a couple years ago. =)

I don't plan to ride if rain is forecasted. I work 42 miles away from home. Sometimes the weather can vary between work and home so I got this in the Hi-Viz Yellow color, to take along for "just in case" situations. http://www.compacc.com/p/Nelson-Rigg-AS-3000-Aston-Rain-Suits

My wife got a set of Frog Toggs, and she got soaked. It's a really thin material, and the rain seemed to go right through it.

I got a one-piece suit for $30 on Jafrum.com made by Thunder Under, and it works great.

I've had mine for 4 years and have gotten in some downright nasty storms and it kept me dry, my buddy bought the set Walmart sells by Frogg Togs and he got soaked so I guess not all Frogg Togs are good

That was the question I was going to ask....are there different models of the Frogg Toggs? It seems like some people have no issues but others are getting soaked.

Maybe there is a cheaper model that isn't as good that is being sold by the box stores.

There are alot of different types / styles of Frogg Togg's.. & it's so hard to judge just by looking online at all these different rain jackets / pants / booties / gloves / suits... etc..

the best thing.. go shopping physically in a store.. so you can try on & feel what they are selling.. if you like what they got - write down the item# / description - then go looking up online for reviews and better prices.
