Yes that's what i said. :hun:
I got some new Can Am gear that's suppose to be waterproof and seeing I've yet to own anything waterproof I'm itching to give this gear a try. It really looks like it may just be the ticket. If it rains tomorrow I plan on a bout a 150 mile ride to test it out. :pray:

Lamonster, you can have the rain as long as you don't bring it to Cuba next week.:gaah: You probably won't have to bring the new rain gear if you can believe the 10 day forecast!:2thumbs:

I too was hoping to get caught in the rain before I left for Cuba. Really wanted to see how things handled and how the gear worked out. Oh well, I guess we'll have to settle for sun and blue skies. :yes:

Hey Lamont I picked up the new water proof jacket last week at the dealer, the one with the bright yellow on the sleeves and shoulders. And it also has a really cool belaclava tucked into the collar of the jacket so in those heavy rains your neck shouldn't get wet. Had it on the other day in light rain obviously it worked well just need a good down pour but I think this jacket is the ticket to staying dry.

I rode in fairly heavy rain today for 2-3 hours in texas with can-am jacket with yellowish green sleeves and it worked great for me. I like how the collar attaches for a complete seal. I loved riding in the rain, the gloves I switched to by can am that have the zipper on the side are completely water proof too, and very comfortable.

If it's the one piece Can Am suite, you will find it is waterproof, however, it keeps the water out but what a sweat box it creates... It does not breath.
I used it in Update New York, and it was pretty good no wet from the outside got in. But anything above 60 degrees, and you have a sauna... JMOHO.

I rode from Moonshine Lunch Run to home (Erlanger, KY) and it rained all the way and my Frog Togs kept me dry.

I found myself wishing for the same thing yesterday. Ron sold me a new Kilimanjaro jacket and asked that I provide some feedback. Thus far I have not had enough rain to test it well, just some light stuff yesterday, and I have also not had enough heat to test the vents. I love it so far, but the review will have to wait. Sorry Ron!

So far it kept me dry today but it wasn't as hard of rain that I would have liked to have seen. It is made very well. :doorag:

It was 75 when the sun came back out and I didn't have that problem, this has a breathable membrane. It got a little warm but not like you're talking about.

Hey Lamont, did it rain on Wednesday or the rest of the week after we left you place? We got down to Ashville and it rained the rest of the day and all night. Thanks again !!

Butch got to test his new Kilimanjaro coat he bought from BajaRon yesterday, since we had lots of rain and cold temps. He said he stayed nice and dry...like Scotty, he'll have to wait until Cuba to even think of using the vents!
