decent rain gear and you can stow it in next to no space. It breathes which is awesome but I find after a day on the road, some moisture still gets in.

Unless your touring, I don't think anything can beat it for the price. On shorter trips (less than 4 hours) the ability of the fabric to breathe makes all the difference.

Thanks, my hubby is always tellin me not to " cheap out" and when I came across the frog togs I figured "what a deal"
If they do what their supposed to, we'll be happy and somewhat dry.

+1 on the Frogg Toggs. Have kept me dry on many a rainy day. Although not in the extreme heavy rainy day that I am known to get myself caught in.

Lightweight, sheds water, and breathable. Not made for prolonged wear and tear. But for the price, I like 'em. 8)

They tear really easy and do not get them on a hot pipe. They do work to keep you dry and they do breathe somewhat. Good for the money.

I saw someone with Frog Togs at my dealership. He actually got heat shields to wrap around his leg and he said they came with the Frog Togs.

I always used a large garbage bag. Poke a hole for head and arms and viola your styling.
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
