Rain OMG

[rbert16000]

I usually carry Frogg Toggs which are good for 60-90 minutes of medium rain, but I am looking for even better gear as I have found the frogg Toggs do not breath and collect moisture from within if worn over 60 minutes. Gortex? I heear that the BMW rain gear is very good (yes-expensive too), but after being caught in major (Long lasting, heavy) downpours before, I cant stress the value of good rain gear with alot of reflective material.
Back in the 70s, I was caught in a hard downpour from the Danish border to Frankfurt, On the Autobahn, on a GS 750. I had what was sold as the best rain gear available at the time, which was totally soaked through, by the time I reached Kassel. I was forced to stop and dry my clothes in a restaurant bathroom using the hand air dryers, which took 4 hours. I had to do this twice before getting to my destination at Ray Barracks, Fieidburg.
So always expect the worst when traveling. Buy the best you can afford.
