[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 400857, member: 6354"] I ride in the rain, but I don't like going to work in the rain. My current rain suit leaks, but only sometimes. One morning I arrived and looked like I needed Depends. Most other times I'm fine, dry as can be. Don't know why, haven't figured out what's going on. Arriving at home like that is OK, but not work. I took the shrink wrap heat gun into the rest room and used it to dry my pants. Made it smell like a laundry! My previous rain suit was apparently more waterproof, was easier to put on, and packed smaller. Previous was Tour Master Defender, destroyed in my lowside accident last fall. Current is Tour Master Sentinel, got talked into it by my brother, who worked at kneedraggers.com at the time. It's got a lining that's just about impossible to get over your boots. Takes 3 or 4 minutes to get the pants on, and you can't do it standing up, you have to find a chair or bench or something. The jacket is fine, though, no worries there. On the highway, just a drizzle, you don't even need the rain gear. Unless you have to stop at lights and what not, or unless it's seriously raining, the FJR provides very very good weather protection. [/QUOTE]
