Rain Coat/ Rain Suit Recommendation

[S-Line]

Dear Fellow Bikers,

 

Looking to buy a decent rain coat for this monsoon season. Any seasoned biker with good experience of various brands. I was initially looking at the RS Taichi range but got mixed reactions from last year forum about the Rain Master & Dry Buster etc.

 

Thanks alot!

heard the new RS Taichi raincoat is breathable too yet protects from the rain. nt sure thats a review from someone in the forum. feel like getting it but it cost like $125!!! $125 for a raincoat is damn expensive. any idea whether the Arai one is breathable even if u wear when its not raining?

i got a cheap Arai one around $30. not so breathable and its damn warm when wearing it. but during heavy rain it does its job and keeps me warm too!

I just bought one yesterday.

 

The new model really KNN ....dun have head hood!

 

Me ish neber check, if I know would never have bought it.

 

ANd the STUPID pants material change to those more glossy and plasticky type

 

liao...really Pee cee Bee manz!

 

If still can find old model at HKL later, I will sell this !

[Nighthawk_250]

Most comfortable rain coat for touring is army Gortex rain coat and pants available at beach road army market. Full set $170+- can bargain

 

U can wear it whole day, still comfy.

 

Only problem is u must wear riding boots or army boots cos the pants length

not long enough, cant wear timberlland or hi-tec that kinda waterproof hikeing shoe with it without some modification.
