Rain Gear

[sjcpanther]

Any of you guys ever seen any rain jackets with a hood that will fit over a modular helmet? My helmet is pretty snug, and my rain jacket hood is too tight of a fit under the helmet. I'm looking for a good rain jacket where the hood will fit over the helmet.

Is there such a thing out there?

I removed the hood from my rain jacket. My rain jacket has a collar that closes tight around my my neck. I would be afraid that a hood might be caught in the wind and pull my head back. As long as you are moving, you will stay dry unless you are in a down pour. I have ridden a lot of miles with just my collar being buttoned up/velcroed tied and stayed dry.

:shocked: It probably doesn't exist... The hood would end up catching a lot of the rain, and just dump it down your neck! nojoke

I don't think it would be a good idea. Most hoods are pretty thin and will fit under the helmet, though a bit of a pain to get sorted out. But I would never want to try it over the helmet. I think you would be sorry if you tried.

Collar

I too just keep my collar tight around the neck and tucked into the back of the helmet so no rain goes down my back or neck. Never tried a hood so can't give you any advise but I think the others are giving you some good advise.
