Rain Gear

I bought a $30 Dry Rider Rain suit. The pants gave out the third time I wore them. The crotch spit and they ripped at the bottom of the right leg. I ride every day 670 miles each way for work and have to be prepared fore the worst. I would like to find a heavy duty rain suit, but they get so expensive and I do not want to shell out the $$ on line to not get what I really want.
Any one have suggestions?

" I ride every day 670 miles each way for work "

I can relate to that. I drive eight hundred miles to work each way every day. People say how do you do it? I say I don't know....

I'll assume you meant 67 miles each way...

Try Frog Toggs but understand Gore- tex is the best. Gore-tex is also wind proof which is good for the blustery day. The jacket - I wear it under or over my skid gear. Depending if I am looking for wind/cold or rain protection.

If it is a choice between tires and rainsuit buy the tires!

to do 670 each way, I'd get a Southwest Airlines credit card, gotta be cheaper
