I was wondering what type of rain gear everyone uses. My last set has worn out and I am in the market to have them replaced. I had a cheap suit that has seen better days. Is it worth it to spend the extra money on the high end suits. I would like to hear what everyone has to say 8)

I hope you get some replies. I have the same question except I've never had any rain gear yet so I know nothing about any of them.

I have a set of Frog Toggs, very lightweight, will keep ya warm down to about 40 degrees and will always keep you dry, less than 75.00 for a set

You get what you pay for. I bought two value priced Teknic suits for me and my wife before our road trip a couple of weeks ago. It was heavy, oversized coat with small fitting pants. Her jacket had the zipper sewn in backwards (try doing that up on the side of the highway) And to make the best of it it didn't even keep us dry. The tag says 100% water proof. The jacket did its job but the pants soaked through especially in the a$$ area. Try riding 5 hours in wet underwear. Not very pleased!

Motorcyclists I know around here say to get frogg toggs.

I just finished a very wet 2 hour ride in a lot of rain. Even the new frogg toggs suit soaked through and left me with a very cold wet a$$

I 2nd that. My frogg toggs jacket leaked as well. Just got matching pants though. Will have to get caught in in one more good storm before I make up my mind.

Check out Klim gear. <---( clicky)
Goretex, and keeps me COMPLETELY DRY and warm to -20... (Snowmobiler)

No, they don't give it away but I've got 5 years on mine and with a little common sense they will last forever!

I always by jackets that are waterproof and/or have a waterproof liner, with Firstgear rain pants (cheap) and waterproof boots. Keeps me (mostly) dry, never could find any decent gloves for rain though.

I bought a Frogg Toggs jacket years ago, it didn't last long :-/

I bought the Tour Master but so far have only had them on in light rain and only for a short time, but they did keep me dry and warmer.
