Touring in rain ?

[Inhouse Bob]

I have those boots (earlier version) and those overgloves. Both are awesome. Here is the rain suit I got. Also awesome, and costs less than the overgloves

I rode home from the Kentucky Rally through eight hours of all kinds of miserable rain. I stayed dry all the way. The only challenge with the setup is the overgloves' silicone grips are so sticky that it takes some getting used to. Hard to slip the clutch when your grip won't slip!

Thanks! That does look like a nice rain suit!

How it's it in 90+ degree heat....with these summer storms you are in and out of rain a lot....the frog togs got hot in between. So you go from like high 70s to 90s and back to 70s quickly.

Also if I go rain suit.....I'm looking for pants that have full side zippers....it's hard for old fat people to find a place to put them on. I'd really prefer some type of Gore-Tex Pants that are summer rated that I can just put on and forget about them.

Funny on the way home from Berea it started raining hard out in the middle of no where....only place I could find to sit down to put my over boots covers on was the front steps of a country church....glad it was there.

It is well ventilated but it's still another layer on top of your riding suit, so I'm sure it gets warm. Until they come up with an in-suit A/C, that's going to be a problem. And it's a pain in the butt to get the pants on when you are wet. Forget sliding them over your boots. A full zip would be nice but not terribly waterproof.

My regular riding suit has a waterproof liner (not Goretex but similar I suppose) and it keeps me mostly dry, but the suit itself gets wet and takes time to dry after a ride, so I like having that waterproofness on the outside.
