I have a Fieldsheer 2-piece rain suit.  The tags don't indicate a model name and I can't find one like it online, but it's not much good for anything but heavy rain.  It doesn't breathe, so the inside can end up just as wet as the outside if it's warm or I exert myself, and I'm sure if I get that baggy rubberized leg anywhere near my muffler it'll melt to whatever I have on under it.  It was given to me by a friend because the zipper was busted, but I wouldn't have paid too much money for it otherwise.  Unless you get rained on every day, I'd just go with whatever's cheap and waterproof.

Wife and I bought a cheap "outdoor" set at the local wally world, on our first trip they shredded like paper in a tornado.
So we stopped at a Harley dealer (was open and we didn't want to melt), of course it costs an arm and a leg, but the rainsuits are reflective and very well put together.
Fold/roll them up in the travel bag...top, bottom and boots fit into the bag and it is about five inches around and ten or eleven inches long.
The top actually has a hood that cinches up around your chin and thin enough to put under your helmet so that when the rain drips it doesn't run down your back....of course if you only have a half helmet your gonna get soaked anyway, so go on your long rides with two, full and half or three quarters if you want to stay completely dry.

Whatever brand I have was a real pain to get over my boots.  I am embarrassed to admit......just last week I found a very well concealed zipper in each pant leg that makes it really easy!

I have a 2 piece inexpensive one from Walmart. The pants go over my boots easily. It keeps me dry from the rain. My boots still get soaked but that is a separate issue. It does get warm in there though. But I have always arrived drier than if I didn't have it.

edit: I forgot to add that there are very few options in my larger than life size. I don't care if it says 3XL, it isn't. The one at Walmart was the only one that actually fit.

Hey!  Can't we use that to our advantage somehow?

I will send you $ 135....and you can send me back $ 149.  Then I will send you back the $ 149.....and you can send me back $ 164!  We can keep doing this until we get enough to retire.  Sure there will be a bit of postage involved....but it is still a money making deal and I can split the profits with you when we make money, then I can retire too!

Dave, I love your idea! We'll get rich quick, retire early, and ride bikes to the end of our natural days. My God, why did no one think of this before?
