Raingear

Just thought I'd forward this info.  A dry ride is sooo much better.
Wish they'd included boots in the discussion.

Has anybody tried these ? The price seems too good to be true, and that usually doesn't work out for me.

Oxford nylon, and only water resistant.  In a downpour, or for any distance.... resistance is futile.     Why buy rain gear that is not waterproof?

Go with Tourmaster (or Nelson Rig).

My all season nonmesh textile riding jacket is waterproof (and even without the liner is too hot in hot weather), but when traveling I almost always have it with me, and I have discovered it is better with all 8 vents open, than my TM raincoat (barely vented), which is pure torture in the heat.  And even with all the vents open in the rain, I don't really get wet (behind an interstate faring and shield). 

So I often end up with the Tour Master bibs/pants, and my textile jacket with all vents open in the rain.  And when it clears, but may still rain, I no longer stow anything in the bags, I bungee it topside so it is dry when I need it again.

Thanks for the info Jess. It never rains here, but on the way to Inzane we got pounded. I had frog togs for my wife and I and they kept us dry but they are pretty fragile.

As long as you're size 3XL.

never thought to check availability.

Rain gear needs to be sized to go over the maximum stuff you might ever wear.

But it should not be dirigible size, so you blow off the bike.

Better get the 4X

I've had a set for over a year now and I so far I like them.  I figured at that price I could afford a set every couple years.
