We need some new rain gear, looking for some light weight gear that keeps you dry. We had a cheap set of frog toggs and they did ok but they are worn out. I have no clue what's out there on the market now so anyone that has purchased some rain gear lately I'd be glad to hear from you.
Thanks

I wear an Olympia textile jacket that comes with a rain jacket, it has worked well for me. It can be purchased separately, along with pants, from Revzilla
This was shared by I don't know who (Srz) & I'd like to give it a try.

Check with Bajaron. I got a nice lightweight Firstgear jacket and pants from him last year.
I agree, I got our First Gear suits from Bajaron and LOVE them.Quote:

Seriously, go somewhere where you can try on before you buy. I got some great rain gear at Cycle Gear that I knew fit me well before i left the store.
I have a Tourmaster jacket and pants that have a wind/rain membrane. I have to say it was kinda nice to sit and relax when buddies were digging out the rain stuff and re-gearing and redoing when the rain ride was past. I stayed dry and comfortable, rain or shine.
Just a heads up. I found these guys provide among the worst customer experience I have seen.......but I AM In Australia. If you decide to go ahead and try it, I would be very interested in knowing how it works for you, Bfrom. I ordered a 4XLT and it came with 39” sleeve length (perfect) and a 30” inseam 10” shorter than promised (the sizing showed a 40” inleg which is why I purchased). They then made me a supposed “custom” one (took 12 months), and they had just added non waterproof material to the leg length, with NO fasteners except for one piece of Velcro at the cuff. Absolutely useless to me and I have just cut my losses.Quote:
