any particular brand that you guys prefer?


also, looking for something that you can put in your bag just incase you get caught in rain and can be wore over other gear.

thanks!

 

i would say one piece. .02

ive seen harley guys ride with poncho's on, but then again they're on a harley

 

lol i was looking through ebay, I had my eyes set on this teknic one piece suit for .10 cents hah but the owner suddenly canceled the auction

I thought about a poncho... then I was like I'm not walking.. cheap and effective if your walking in rain.. ha

 

I'm a big one piece fan for any weather condition... but then agian, I don't ride around in t-shirts and tennis shoes either. But I do let my bitch on the back in a g string :-P

 

poncho that ****

by far the best non-motorcycle specefic rain gear on the market, i have a set, and they are incredible, i got a set for my father too, he wears them fishing... i work at a cannondale dealer during the summer, and the jacket is about 200 and the pants are 150, they are good for hiking, riding, biking, or just casual for the jacket... check out your local bike shop, but this material is called "Epic" material... and as you wash is, unlike gore-tex is gets even more waterproof... gore-tex need to be re-applied... the threads in the epic material expand when washed and make it more waterproof, its some wild ****... ill take a pic when i get home this weekend and post...

 

I used to use ski bibs, they work well for winter protection to

 

I was curious about the 'epic' fabric since I had never heard of it, so I did a search on it. Seems like its treated cotton? I found this blurb on a tent site:

"...the Epic fabric, while breathable, is not waterproof. In fact its water-resistance is only 1 pound of hydrostatic pressure on the Suter test. Compare this with 40 pounds for Marmot gore-tex waterproof fabrics and you get the idea. Enough said: 1 lb hydrostatic pressure for Epic makes it a non-competitor"

I found this in M and XL for $72:

Just starch spray your ****! It'll treat fabrics and help repell water. (Old snowboarding technique)

 

2 piece
I use a two piece weather suit that goes over what Im wearing. Helps keep me warm and my leathers dry.

ill take some pics, i've been out in some wicked rain storms with my epic stuff on, and it is def. waterproof... i would have to say that that blurb is from someone who is competing against C-dale... they are damn good duds

 

1 piece suits can be a pain in the *** the put on... I'd go for a 2 piece even though its just one more place for water to get in.
