Frogg Toggs are a great value compared to HD rain suits. And they come with reflective piping on some of their styles and are cut for riding.
+1
I have tested the Frogg Toggs by fire. We rode 7 hours in the rain from Christina Lake BC, to Revelstoke, through Banf and then on to Canmore AB. I don't know who isn't getting wet on the Vision at "speed", but we were doing 65+ mph most of the way on the Trans-Canada and would have been drenched if it were not for the Toggs.
Here's another handy hint: Check your reservations carefully. After that wonderful ride, we discovered that the delightful little Lodge that looked so inviting online was actually 28 miles up the side of a mountain on a washboard gravel road.
Yes, I did take the Vision up there.
No, I don't want to discuss it right now.
Protip: Bears are respectful of the beautifully engineered Vision. Moose, on the other hand, could give a rat's a$$ about the sleek lines and flowing styles.
If I live through this trip, I will elaborate more at some point.
Wish me luck. |

| I have been thru several rain suits including Victory...The best I have found, and are pretty inexpensive are nelson-rigg and they have absolutely no leaks even in the crotch. Suspenders, wrap around velcroe, zipper, and stirups for the pants. Nothing better that I have seen or worn. Although, I have never purchased really expensive stuff either. If you go online and type in nelson-rigg, you will find reports from magazines on them that say they cannot believe the low price for the high results. I also bought the boot covers, which are the best thing since sliced bread...I get no wetness, anywhere...
