What have you used? What did you like? What did you hate?
I'm not looking for raingear made for marathon running if you know what I mean. Something small enough to stuff in my tank bag that'll keep me dry if I happen to get caught in a shower is all.
I've looked into Frogg Toggs. Trying them on I was very unimpressed. Especially for the money. $60 seems to be the best price i can find for a jacket and pants combo. When seated the jacket rode up my back real bad and totally exposed my lower back. Fit as if I had just pulled a garbage bag over my head. But it would fold up small enough you could almost carry it in your pants pockets.So that is a big plus for it.

I tried on a Fulmer Stormtrak two piece and it seemed really well made. The ankle cuffs seemed too large to seal up,but otherwise it was really nice. The collar was very high and would actually tuck into my helmet,so no worry of leaks there.Nice long jacket tail. Folds up almost as small as the Frogg Toggs. The waist on the pants dont come very high,though.I can get this setup local for $82. Apparently they are a close out item since I cannot find them online anywhere.
I tried on a buddy's Fieldsheer (not sure of the model name)two piece suit and it was awesome. Super high waisted pants that would never let water between the jacket and the pants. Suspenders were nice,too. Pants were nicely made and easy to get on/off. Boot straps on the pants. But i cant find them anywhere online,either.
Just looking for suggestions and advice. I've never bought rain gear so there's things to look for that I've never even considered. But my main priority is that they will stow away in a very small area.
