Rain Gear

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.

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