I have found myself riding in the rain many times in the past year and need some experienced advice on rain gear such as over gloves, over boots, rain outfits, etc.
Presently, I have purchased solutions for each of these items but I'm sure there are better options available. Right now, I'm looking at a Motoport Aerotex rain suit - pants and jacket - to go over my Motoport air kevlar outfit for cold winter riding. My Aerotex liners don't work so well at 30 degree F weather traveling 75 mph for many hours. So, I'm leaving the Aerotex liners at home, inserting Gerbing electric liners - Jacket & Pants - with the plan of using an Aerotex rain suit as the outer wind/rain breaker. (I've tried to stuff everything under the Air kevlar outfit but I then have the flexibility and look of the Michelin Tire Man).
There are many choices in rain suits to wear over protective gear including Frogg Togg, Firstgear Rainman, and Motoport Aerotex. So, here is the dilemma, which to choose?
I have significant and positive experience with the Aerotex liners, but at $270 for the outer rain suit it is at the top end of the price spectrum.
