New HD rain gear

Gas Man · 07-11-2010, 09:13 AM

Now this isn't intended for Ebbs crazy rain riding sports. For the 2 yrs I had my old frogg toggs I have only really used them while on road trips. If I get caught in the rain around here, its usually not that big of a deal and I just tuff it out wet. It seems every ride I go out of town I use my rain gear.

The first time I used my rain gear, I burned the shit to the pipes on the right side. I've done that now twice and they look like this now.

That being said, they suit still works well. But when the wife came home with her new suit (she didn't have any before). I loved the size it balls into, that being a 9" circle pouch that is part of the hood. $99

So I got me the men's version for the same $99

I simple want a smaller set for the saddle bags. Plus the HD rain gear won't burn against the pipe. I can now store both our sets in less space than just my old frogg toggs.

We'll see if we use them in a couple weeks when we head to carlisle bike fest in PA.

Bought a set when I went to go get my ER-6N. They are ok, but over priced.

They don't breath. I was sweating my ass off even with the cool rain. You can't zip down all the way on the legs or it just pulls your pants up. Need to have some clips on both sides with some stretchy to go under your shoes to hold them down.
