Hi all,
Just went thru all the treads under rain gear and just saw bits and pieces.
As a rider who doesn't ride in the rain very often, I would appreciate some help in putting together a rain gear kit.
I'm going in a 300 miler today and its going to rain the whole way,(or so the weatherman says,but what does he know
).
Questions.
1. What gear to put over your normal riding gear.
2. What about rain gear under your normal riding gear.
3. Should you buy special gear for rain that can work well in dry weather with out being an oven at 80 degrees.
4. If your caught in the rain or think it might rain is there a small travel rain gear,(besides green garbage bags, too noisy), that you could recomend.
5. I have found some gear the will say dry while riding but gets wet if you have to stand,(or sit), in the rain.
6. Riding in the rain at night, stick to the freeways or ride any well traveled road.
I know this is a lot of information that I'm asking for but since this forium doesn't really have a proper wet riding gear thread this needs to be done.
To the people who ride in the rain regularly my helmet is off to you.
