I know you guys have raingear for those less than perfect riding days. I'm in the market for a rainsuit. I tend to prefer one-piece, but if someone can explain how a two-piece is better then I'm open to suggestions. Where did you all get your raingear, and what do you recommend?
Thanks!

I just got nnew rain gear I got the Tourmaster Elite 2 piece. Seems like good stuff haven't had to use it yet. Ordered it online, just do a search for rain gear the choices are almost infinite.:03biker:

I use a aerostich riding suit, rain gear and protection all wrapped up in one package, I have the one piece roadcrafter and a two piece darien, the darien has the zip out 200wt polarfleece heated liner. both suits have goretek. Pricey but no clammy feeling from rubber lined nylon suits. There are many breathable membrane suits out there, that is the way I personally would go.

I have the First Gear rain jacket and pants. They have been put to severe rain tests and they came out great. They fold up into self-contained pockets for easy storage, are light and well designed. They feel too thin to believe, but they do the job.
I have a set of Cabelas guideware. It's made of heavy material and is goretex lined. Real comfortable and fully waterproof (all day stuff).

I've been riding in the nor-easter crap all week long staying warm & dry. I have a two piece TeKnic rain suit, Alpinestars Effex boots, and First Gear Master gloves. I also use my Shoei X11 which is pretty fog resistant... a big plus. Set the heated hand grips on second level and I'm good to go. Hardley know it's raining (or pouring). Don't think you have to have one piece to stay dry.... two piece will work fine if the coat is long enough. The ST provides plenty of protection. I've just discovered if you lower the windshield the air flow will suck the rain off your face shield.
Anyway,.. I'm babbling... it pays to buy good stuff.

I have a TourMaster CorTech Sport jacket and pants, which keep me dry and have plenty of protection. Once a year I treat them with Camp Dry. The only thing I need to add when it rains is rubber overgloves (Aerostich) which I keep in the right fairing pocket.
I have a Stearns rainsuit (2pc) that I purchased at Cabellas, excellent protection, lightweight and a ton of vents... a lot of flexibility, and
enough room to slip on a heavy jacket if needed for cooler weather..
