Okay, so I'm in the market for a decent rain jacket. Problem is I'm a really big guy. Like 4lx-6xl (gut size 64),depending on the manufacturer. I've looked all over, but haven't found one that both fits, and has a good waterproof rating. Any suggestions? |

I suggest Aerostitch. If you get on the phone with them, they can get your build, riding style, blood type.... Costly but all-weather and lasts a long time. |

'Stitch or someone else who can do a "bespoke" job for ya. I dunno if Klim would have your size, but I've liked my summer riding pants and most everyone who's tried them likes their stuff. I've two good friends who run a dual sport outfitter's shop- betcha a dollar they can help! Call Megan and Francois at Dual Sport Touring here in Friendsville TN- 865-995-9505. They carry Klim and many other good brands, and even advise the manufacturers on design and features occasionally. Post up as you figure things out! |

Aerostitch.... I have longed dreamed of getting one, but not sure my budget can handle it. At the same time I don't want cheap frog toggs either. I'm going for a balance between the two. I actually found a site that has big mans rain gear, but it is geared toward hunters. I may have to go with something non-moto specific. I use a Bruns jacket most of the time anyway, guess I could throw a great big camo shell over the top of it. } |

If you can't afford Aerostitch then check these guys out. British Motorcycle Gear makes some nice jackets and pants. It's the only place I could find rain pants in real waist/length sizes. Their jackets look nice and this one is pretty reasonable. It's a summer jacket yet it's rain proof. I only own the pants but the quality looked real good. http://britishmotorcyclegear.com/jackets/zodiac-ja cket.html |
