Wet weather gear

I was initially worried about the the Frogg Toggs rain gear due to feel and cost of it, but after 9 days of rainy weather (not full time, mind you, but more than a good test) going up to Alaska, I stayed perfectly dry the entire time.
It was breathable, lightweight, and easy to put on and take off. I bought the hi-viz jacket and black pants and paid about $50 US and it more than paid for itself. A companion also used the Frogg Toggs gear just a little different design, but same results. It fits well over your regular gear and makes a great wind breaker for the first thing on cool mornings. Not a regular need for it in Arizona, but it served me well on the trip.
I purchased two of the Cycle Gear Bilt Dry Bags, one large and one medium. Other than a couple of broken buckles (which they replaced for free) the bags worked well with nothing ever getting wet or even damp. They hold a good deal of stuff and pack down nicely. The bags have enough tie down points that things getting loose on the bike was never an issue.

I agree on the Frog Toggs. I have 2 sets. They keep you dry and are very lightweight and compact to pack in the Bags.

I also purchased a set of Frog Toggs and about 4 months after purchase I had the chance to use them. For the first half an hour I was fine after that for the next 3 1/2 hours of rain it was as if I did not have any rain gear on at all. Very disappointed also. Never again will I purchase anything related to Frog Toggs.

GoreTex equipment works well for the wet stuff.

Frogg Toggs would work well on the Trophy. They are not good on naked bikes though.
I wear Gore-tex gear because it is guaranteed to work.

I often wonder about the Frogg Togg reports. I've had two sets over the years and ridden in such heavy rain I was afarid to stopp OR keep going! Never a hint of being wet. Go figure.
