[QUOTE="luvtoride, post: 950617, member: 250"] Absolutely, the best rain gear is your actual riding gear that is waterproof. In the summertime I wear mesh, though. I have decided to never buy gear that has liners used as your waterproof rain gear. #1 Unless the rain starts as a frog strangler, I tend to wait until I know that it's going to "stay" raining before I will don a rainsuit... so, I want to just throw it over the top of the gear I'm riding in. #2 it seems to me that mesh ride gear isn't supposed to get wet even though they tout that it can. It seems to me that it will lose a ton of abrasion resistance if it's wet. (I'm not speaking of highly expensive motoport gear) I wear a suit made by First Gear. I don't remember what it's called. It's ok... nothing to write home about. Once upon a time I had a set of frogg toggs that I had extremely bad luck with. It seems that either people love them or hate them. It appears to me that they've made great strides in recent years. I may try them again. [/QUOTE]
