Learned that the hard way yesterday. I was finely able to get my bike in for service, only a miles over. Knowing it was going to rain I bought a DryRider Suit from a local store. Took off and sure enough it started raining about 20 miles into the trip. So I pull over and open the brand new bag was marked LARGE only to find a suit that's EXTRA SMALL!! Now I'm not THAT big but no way could I get that suit on! 120 miles in a cold rain is NOT a good ride At ALL... BUT I guess I can really say I am A BadWeatherBiker now! Heck even the guys at the H-D shop thought I was hard core...or just nuts!  | ||

Owned.  I learned the hard way yestderday that my aerostich roadcrafter 1 piece leaks a little in the crotch area. It looked like i'm the one that had the leak. | ||

isn't nothing sacred anymore. probably a price difference on something and they changed it out. that's usually what happens. was that a new one froggy or a used one. | ||

Froggy - I treat all my gear once every six months with spray waterproofing from the camping section of WalMart. Even my Buell Adventure pants are damn near waterproof now | ||

Neil - brand new, I got it a few days before badness Ratbuell - I am going to have to try that. It only gets in cause of the zipper. | ||

Froggy - I washed my 'stich with some NikWax after it had about 8,000 miles on it and started leaking in the crotch. I sealed the seams in the crotch with some sort of silicone stuff that I got from Aerostich. It worked great - I rode around in the rain at March Badness and it didn't leak at all. | ||

I just bought a two piece day glow yellow rain suit from Tractor Supply for $35. The bottoms are like overalls. Test will come soon enough to see if it will work, but I am really digging the day glow yellow!! | ||

Shoulda gone with Spike's trash bag solution. He looked like Darth Teletubby. | ||

Well... the tractor supply suit turned out to not be workable.... The trouser bib was great in the front, but not in the back, plus someone thought it a good idea to have a non-sealable fly... Dang the luck!! | ||

always nicer to learn by someone else's mistakes. sorry you had to learn by your own paint. | ||

Nah.... I never road tested it... Put it on over the riding gear at the house and found out what I did!! |
