Can your motorcycle riding gear handle the wet stuff? The editors review six motorcycle rain suits:
1. The Tour Master Elite Series II one-piece motorcycle rain suit is a fine piece of gear, with the kind of rugged construction that promises a long-wearing life. We’ve tested the two-piece version of this suit in the past, and we were impressed with both its comfort and its weather protection. This one-piece version costs less than buying the jacket ($54.99) and pants ($34.99) separately, and features a polyurethane-backed heavy-duty nylon shell with sealed seam construction, a collar-to-fly-length main zipper with dual wind flap and Velcro closure, an “Aqua-Barrier” under-the-helmet hood to help eliminate seepage in the collar area (which easily stows in a hidden collar pocket), and a polyester mesh lining. Chest map pockets feature waterproof zippers, plus there’s a thigh pocket for convenient storage. Underarm grommets allow airflow to minimize moisture buildup, while the “Scoop Vent System” helps the suit breathe. Scotchlite reflective piping and Tour Master’s signature reflective triangles help increase nighttime visibility. It also has elastic cuffs with Velcro closure at sleeves and pant legs, and a hanging loop is built into the collar for post-ride air drying. Price: $79.99.
2. The Fieldsheer Storm two-piece motorcycle rain suit is made with a polyurethane-coated nylon shell with taped seams, a taffeta jacket liner and a contoured, corduroy-lined collar. It has Velcro adjustable cuffs, zip and Velcro leg enclosures, and a double-layered seat panel to prevent slipping. It features reflective Phoslite for high visibility, back vents to prevent moisture build-up inside the jacket, removable elastic stirrups and a waterproof double-layer storm flap over the main zipper. Equipped with two Velcro front pockets, a zipped map pocket and a Velcro pant pocket, it features double-stitched, overlapped, glued, heat-sealed and electronically welded seams just like the one-piece Sugo Max. Price: $42.90.
