minnesota | I was caught with 65 mph cross-winds/rain last summer and had to lower to windshield to see the road (a little) until I could pull off the highway. I carry Bike Brite Moto-Mask now on my bike. I read a good review from Riders Club of America. It is made for MC windshields/visors. I have only used it once since purchasing it, but the rain did seem to bead up better.

I rode in the rain a lot last weekend. I used Frog Togs and an Scorpion EXO-100 Helmet with the built in shield. There in no perfect answer but this worked very well for me.

Did your Frogg Toggs keep you dry? |

San Antonio, TX | Blackjack,
I was lucky on Friday. Just before it started to come down in buckets and the traffic slowed to a halt on 1604 I pulled under an overpass. I put on my Frog Togs and gauntlet gloves under the bridge. Traffic was only moving about 5 to 10 miles and hour so I was not worried about someone plowing into me.
After I got dressed for success I started down the road in a hard rain. Uh oh. Houston, we have a problem. I did not put the left leg all of the way down over the boot and felt water dripping into the boot. Arrgggg!
Traffic was still very slow so I pulled over in the rain and adjusted to left pants leg of the Frog Tog.
All was fine now and no more water was going in the boot.
When I made it to my destination I took off the rain gear. My shirt and pants were dry. My hands were damp because the gloves are not water proof. My boots were damp but not soaked (I need to seal then again).
All that got really wet was my lower face and beard.
Other then that I was warm and dry.
I bought mine a bit large so they can fit over my winter gear. I normally wear 1/2 leather chaps from the knee down to keep them out of the exhaust.
All in all, the Frog Togs are light and work very well. |
