Title: Rain Gear
Post by: LimaXray on June 09, 2006, 08:45:35 AM
So after doing a little riding in the rain and getting over my fear of riding in the wet, I want to get myself some good rain gear.  My logic is a 1 pc would be better then a 2 pc because there are fewer openings for the water to get in.  Now here's my problem: I'm 6'6".  I have yet to try on a rain suit, or any kind of jump suit for that matter, but my guess is it would be a Buddha Loves You to fit in one well.  Any tall people out there have any experience with this or any suggestions?  Or should I just say screw it and get a 2 pc?

Short help: Aerostitch most likely has Roadcrafters that would fit. They are 30 second on/off. Easy as pie. There is also a cheepie version sold in stores by some other brand. Probably same idea. I do aggree that if it is just a rain suit, with normal rain suit material it would suck to get into/out of no matter what size you are when wet. I don't think being tall has anything to do with making the suits harder to get into/out of, unless it doesn't fit.

Garbage bags and string work well...

Loose is okay as you don't want it to restrict your movement, and makes getting it over your leathers much easier.
