Exhaust Safe Rain Gear
Exhaust Safe Rain Gear
Hey guys, I recently purchased some rain gear from the local motorcyle shop. It is PVC material. After only wearing it once, there is a golfball sized hole in the right leg; a burn from the pipes. What rain gear would you guys recommend? Thanks for any recomendations.

Kinda 'spensive but, worth the $...
I bought my pants from HD. They have material over the PVC that protects the PVC from exhaust. I think I paid $60 or $75. There may be other manufactures but, HD is the only one I know for sure.

I have Frogg Toggs. If I rode a leg roaster like the one in your picture, I'd use this:

I have the First Gear Rainman pants. They seem to be holding up well. I've had them out a few times since I got them, and my header tends to get pretty hot. Plus, they fold up into their own storage bag.

Melted my Hundred Dollar HD rain pants. Left leg inside thigh and right leg above the ankle and they were suppose to be heat proof.
So I sewed on leather at those two spots, no issues now.

I tried that first, but it would not glue to the HD rain pants so I sewed the other stuff on...it works.demon_racer23 wrote:I've heard of this stuff called Frogg Togg. It's a heat resistant panel that glues onto the legs.

Re: Exhaust Safe Rain Gear

I have the Milwaukee 2 piece rain suit fromChilhowee

It has a heat resistant panel on the lower right leg...
It worked well when I used it with my Cobra exhaust.....but I have not used it with my new Hooker exhaust
