I don't own Frogg togs but the folks I know who do say they are the best. I have an HD suit from when I still had one. It is OK.

thats weird, I heard nothing but bad things about the frogg stuff, like it only lasted thru 1 storm, but I guess different folks have different expectations.
I bought Nelson Rigg 2 piece suit for about 50 bucks, it does the job well and has some nice features, like some breatheable mesh in those areas that need it , and zippers at the ankle, so you can put it on over your boots.

I learned about frogg toggs from a motorcycle cop and bought a set for $40 at Acadamy. Saved $20 from anywhere else. Its been raining here for 24 straight days and I ride daily. I can tell you this, they are light and it does BREATHE so you don't sweat like a pig. No sign of shredding yet but if they do, I'll be getting another set. Weight 4oz. stows tightly in back pack, and I don't leave home without it. Anyone know what the sun looks like?
