Thought I was done researching and on my way to buy my Frogg Toggs. BUT.... when I was checking out the $39.99 set at Dick's Sporting Goods I saw that they offered a solo jacket that was black but had reflective pin striping. Interesting. The pants had no pockets and that bothered me since my current rain pants are pocket less as well. I decided to think on it and went outside to my STeed. Oh yeah, Bass Pro was right there, so I rode over to check out their selection. While they had only few choices....they did have AWESOME pants for $25. They had zipper pockets, draw string waste AND 12" leg zippers that went all the way to the Velcro cinch bottom of the leg. I checked the tags and they say GUARANTEED to be waterproof at any speed.I own them now and just have to find the right jacket. I'll be keeping the receipt AND tags....just in case! LOTS of good input ....THANKS!
Ace -
I wonder if the fashion police will ticket me for clashing? Hi-viz yellow helmet with hi-viz green jacket....good think I'm partially colored blind !
I have no idea what a Stay Puff marshmallow is - and I'm not going to Google it! - but I totally agree the look is not flattering. Part of that is the "solid" nature of my physique...but part of it is also the fact a local rider was selling his hi-vis suit and I bought it despite knowing it was at least 1 size too large!!
It is a BMW TourShell jacketjacket, what I like about it is that it is cut a little long so it works better with my generous physique (a little over weight) by not riding up and exposing the area between pants and coat.
That's why I went with the FroggTogg bibs - they just don't make their jackets long enough for those of us with less than svelte physiques ... ;-) Either a 3/4 length jacket or bibs is about the only solution I've found to solve that problem that doesn't involve a four letter work - 'diet'.
And notice the first three letters of that word is 'die' ....
Dave, I vote (Because I can, & it is the right thing to do!) for the motorcycle version of Frogg Toggs.
