Rain Coat/ Rain Suit Recommendation

[Dafanshu]

actually does it matter if the rain coat comes with a hood? Somehow the helmet managed to keep water out of my body during rainy days.

I like raincoats with hoods because I dont like to wear my helmet all the time. Sometimes, I have to walk in the rain from my parking location and I will use the hood.

 

Also, biking is less for transportation and more for fun so I take bus and cabs more often, hence I like to be able to walk around in the rain without a helmet or umbrella. Will just use my Clover raincoat as it looks quite nice, like a normal windbreaker.

it matters..at least to me? somehow the helmet cannot keep my clothes water-free during rainy days.

[Ah_Pet]

[speedtriple]

i need a new raincoat as well. my old arai one is leaking liao.

Just got the RS Taichi Drymaster.

- It's very thin compared to my old progrip raincoat.

- Not yet tested in heavy rain.

- comes with 3 mths warranty.

- Overpriced for a raincoat in my opinion.

What's the review like on the Arai raincoat, the $70 one at 219 Motor Shop? Is it durable and waterproof?

How much was it?

[JoOs7eR]

how much for the RS tacihi drymaster ?

[speedtriple]

Got the RS Taichi Drymaster as well. It's thin and easy to compact and store. I like the pants which are longer to cover your ankles when your legs are in riding position. Lesser chance of my socks getting wet if I'm not wearing my boots. The jacket sleeves are longer as well to accomodate stretching your arms when riding.

 

At least there is more thought into making the raincoat for riders as compared to my previous Arai raincoat.

 

Have not tested it in rain though.

i need a M top but a L pants... problem of a small fella with big waistline

wonder if anyone has inversed needs... L top but M pants (bodybuilders? )... can swap the pieces

[lutein]

RS Taichi rainmaster can get from Motoworld. I got it more than a year ago at $70+. Not sure about the price now.

[econbizer]

How much was it?

 

Their price now is $140.

[Dafanshu]

it is amazing how expensive it is. Anyone can confirm the quality?

[lutein]

My apologies. I believe the RS Taichi raincoat I got was actually the DRYMASTER (not Rainmaster). Performance is excellent (no leakage despite heavy rain) which I believe is very important for comfort. My main problem is I am an M top but L bottom but you can't mix the sizes!

It is not your fault, my wife's drymaster also like that. Top ok, bottom very tight. I think it is a design problem.

Drymaster is good! I use one myself too... kept me dry always. just nvm the pants size ha

I think the design is based on the male's proportion rather than a unisex one.
