    We bought the Tour Master Elite II rain suits. They work great as we have been caught out a few times in some fairly nasty weather. Keeps you dry, will store in one of the saddle bags for when you need it. Here is a link to the Jacket. You will find the link to the pants on the left nav bar. Hope this helps...

    Cheap rain suits are worth every penny you spend on them. What is your comfort worth?

    I use Frog Toggs, don't know what you would consider expensive, but less than $100.

    We bought Frogg Toggs from Revzilla. They are incredibly light, they breathe, & they keep you dry. I think you'll like the price too. I realize as was said before...you get what you pay for....but I truly think these might be the exception.

    I got the brp and the wife got the nelson riggs! hers was about half the price of mine, but we both like the fact they have a lot of hi viz yellow on them for those dark cloudy rainy days!the extra color is worth the extra bucks for safety!

    I also like the Tourmaster Elite.
    We gave it a real tortue test back in April; three, 600 plus mile days in some real toad stranglers... It passed with flying colors!
    One piece suits have one less place to have to worry about water infiltrating...
    They're currently retailing at $105... Cheap; after you've had a couple of wet butts!

    If I had to use a two-piece set; it'd be Frog Toggs too!

    Frogg Toggs jacket, pants, and boots. They are cut large to go over your clothes. Don't forget gloves. I use Tour Master Dri-Mesh Gloves . . . but get larger than you normally wear . . . at least that was the experience I had. They have a liner in them that keeps your hands dry.

    Yep cheaper on ebay. I got the Road Toad MC jacket for $40 shipped but I got BRP pants for $29 on ebay and they are awesome. I wouldn't pay $100+ for them though. The Road Toad has reflective piping too

    I guess I'm the odd man out, didn't have good luck with Frog Toggs. I really like my River Road High 'N Dry rain suit.

    Add me for Frog togs. My last set is the slighly heaver Road Tog (?). Good protection and long life.
    they also can double as wind/cold protection when it gets a little chilly out.

    Default FROG TOGGS FOR SURE

    I rode in 2 hours of solid rain from Sturgis heading to Cody WY and they kept me bone dry. I paid $40 for the 2 piece set. Highly recommend for the quality and price.

    I bought a two piece set from Cycle Gear that has worked great for us. They are Bilt brand name made for Cycle Gear. I think I paid about 80 bucks for the set. I rode back from Georgia in the rain the whole time without a leak. Was a 5 to 6 hour trip.

    For raingear, I use textiles. Have one CanAm textile jacket and a couple Firstgear. Also use Firstgear pants. Nothing light weight here. When it rains, its cold and miserable--so the heavy stuff works fine. All have zip in liners for even colder weather.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I had Frog Toggs and gave them up for Tourmaster elite. A lot more expensive but can compare the quality and comfort.

    I've used a TourMaster Elite for years. Pants seem to have shrunk, bought a pair of Olympia pants which have worked out well also. Do not seem as hot as the older stuff.
