Rain Coat/ Rain Suit Recommendation

[EeLyNn_10]

thx 4 the info.

 

you're welcome~! hopefully u can get a good rainsuit.. as i know e monsoon season is e most worst thing that could happen to a biker... good luck!!

[ok3]

Can HIGHLY recommend the top of the line by Taichi. Very light weight, and when not in use, rolls up to a very small size, easily fits in tankbag with other stuff. Very breathable! Wear it over my Dainese textile suit, still comfy. Recently rode two days straight in rain. No leaks. Was initially put off by high price. But sometimes you get what you pay for. Bought at Hodaka.

wah sounds good. my arai one cheap and good but rolls up to a very BIG size. everytime i'll have trouble trying to squeeze it under my seat. lol

[ok3]

That's the problem with most cheap rainsuits. They work just fine, but when you don't need them and role them up, they are bigger than you ex-girlfriends butt! Where to put? Plus, the cheap ones don't breath very well and don't have the mesh liner.

i agree.. very good...

 

But my OGK pants leaked after only 1mth+. . . leaked like I pee'ed in 'em. . . And the jacket've got no vents. . . too stuffy for me.

[smiley73]

I oso recommand Taichi rain wear consider xpensive. about $120+/- like that.

 

Just try the raincoat @ the shop u know the feel of breather and light weight. compare to others

[sutharsan]

i am using OGK aeroblade2

quite ok la. really serves the purpose and i feel its worth the price.

i bought it at 55 at lab..

 

but my frens say rs taichi better which cost abt 120

[sUuQre]

OGK FF5 for me... gt it for $60 at regina....

[sinner0_5]

anyone encounter leaks when u fold up the cheap raincoats? my NANKAI is so far so good but words faded liao. Cheaper also onli 100.Light and breathable like the taichi.

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

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.

 

the army gortex have the hood which would obstruct the helmet and checking of blind spot

Just got the Dainese 1-piece raincoat. Easier to slip on and comes with stylish storage waist pouch. Tested in heavy rain twice and no water seeped through....

 

 

The only minus point is the price. $184.

one piece? like those jumpsuits? wait wearing then lose balance and fall down.. malu wo..

[lacrimosae]

Dainese has a pretty good and durable raincoat set for $150. Very good rain protection, breathable, and looks great.

 

Clover from Chiap Lee is also good. Has a neat hood tucked into collar, very thin and breathable, not to mention easy to stow, since it can be squeezed into very small spaces. Lighter than the Dainese. And costs about $100 I think. Bought this a long time ago.

Yar $184! That'd better keep me dry if I fall into a flood too!

 

Am currently using the Clover raincoat and have tried an acquaintance's Dainese in heavy rain. Both kept the rain out very well. The Clover is very thin, so it doesnt keep the cold out, and I was feeling VERY chilled.

Haiyah!! Initially difficult to wear but after 1-2 times, got skill already... Kah! Kah!!

Don't worry... Snow & hailstorm also can protect....!!

Tried them before. They are convenient as they are cheap and easy to stow.

 

However, they are as fragile as they look. Usually after about 15-20 times of usage and the pants start to leak at the crotch, and the top lets some rain in.

 

I like them because they are cheap and easily replaceable. But I stopped using them because they may fail you on a day you really need rain protection. I got drenched just before a meeting with important clients, went for meeting looking and smelling damp.

hi all, does all rain coats come with hood? or only a particular few brands etc? any recommendations? and prices as well? thanks~
