Looking for waterproof riding (over) bibs/pants recommendations

[EdMat]

One thing I like about the Klim Forecast pants besides being Gore-Tex and waterproof is the almost full length zipper on the outside of each leg makes putting them on so easy.

If you haven't made a purchase yet, consider the First Gear Kilimanjaro pants. Full lenth zippers on both legs gusseted waist closure and they make suspenders that zip attach in the back. All day rain, and dry. No need to stop and fiddle with rain gear. Wear them year round.

Yep .... full touring gear is the best option... you get what you pay for. My last trip was 4 days of rain out of 16 days. I was bone dry the whole time. I have had this set for 10 years and its still hanging in there.

Textile jacket and pants.. leather.com Under $200 for the pair and they still do the job, worried about the legs creeping up , get a
Pair of boot suspenders.

I'll check them out after lunch. Nice Classic. I've had 2 Nomads. Just traded the last one (a '14) on my new RT.

Look into Frogg Toggs.....not the regular motorcycle pants.....My friend who sells Frogg Toggs ordered a bib for me....different material than the "tyvec" kind of material ....... with the standard Frogg togg jacket I stay dry in all day rain.....BUT You have to buy this stuff way bigger to fit over your riding gear WITHOUT stretching the seams when you sit !!

I would suggest frog togs. I have a pair of coveralls that are great for rain. My jackets I wear are water resistant but in Arizona the combination works great.

+1 for Frog Togs- very breathable and extremely light BUT very fragile if near the vicinity of high temp parts.
