Rain for 100 miles worked great.

This suit worked great. We had to drive 55 miles to the Grand Canyon and 55 miles back to the hotel and it rained the entire time. stayed dry! Worked better than my $175 HD raincoat.

Good raincoat, but I have a suggestion for improvement.

This raincoat suits me very well. I use it in wet weather and when it's really cold as an extra layer to keep the wind out. It's easy to brush aside a problem. I wish they had put the zippers on the inside of the legs. Reaching in is much easier than outside, especially when the zipper is a bit difficult to close. these are usually spots. It doesn't fit very well around my neck, but the collar of my riding jacket is there too, so it doesn't really matter. In general I am satisfied. I would…

Pros
  • Excellent general properties
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

But here! MUCH better than mfgr describes!

Bought 3 complete winter weather kits at the Bay Area Raiders games. Lots of complaints BUT they are mostly true to size, warm, NOT sweaty, fully waterproof and fit well over our thick sweatshirts. Example: Husband is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 183 pounds. Men's XL fit perfectly into the space; They have an elastic waistband that stretches comfortably so you can easily layer your clothes underneath and still look like you're sitting. Build. Easy to maintain, kids handle things roughly, but

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some issues

Doesn't work on heavy rain days

This product does not retain water well. I've been using it for 3 days since the start of the rainy season in my country and it just doesn't work. Somehow it keeps you dry, but some water gets in and gets wet when it rains heavily. The top works well but the pants don't. Some water filters go through the seams in the middle, leaving a wet pair of pants. Not the best product in my opinion. TO EDIT. I literally used this raincoat on 4 different days of heavy rain, I had to throw it in the bin…

Pros
  • Builds confidence
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

No resistance to this product at all.

Bought this raincoat in Seattle. It worked fine at first, but by the time I got to Nebraska it was running down my chest, shoulders and arms. It turns out that the yellow part of the costume consists of two layers attached to each other. And when the fabric on the back and shoulders flaps in the wind, the inner layer tears. And the suit leaks where there are holes. You can see it in the photo I attached to this review. It's a shame considering the attention to detail that went into the…

  • beautiful thing

Suitable for short term use, not long haul

My friends and I just used this suit on a 2 week motorcycle trip from Chicago to Alaska and back. There were a few days where we had to wear it for hours and a few days where we had to wear it for almost a full 12 hour ride day. My jacket has held up great. The zipper on her jacket came open at the halfway point in the seam and could only be closed with Velcro, which luckily worked enough to keep her torso dry. My pants had frayed through part of the waterproof lining in the seat area, leaving…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Expensive

Warm up and just say a few hiccups.

Repels rain very well and keeps me warm on my bike even in heavy rain. That being said, I have a few complaints: the bottom of the zipper on one side needs reinforced stitching. It started shrinking pretty quickly after a few uses. The jacket fits perfectly, although there is some material on the wrists, even compared to the rest of my gear. It can be a bit fiddly, but once you get used to it, it's not that bad. I'd happily buy the jacket and pants separately - the jackets are perfect, but the…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Lots of things

Broke down in a weekend

If I were writing this review after the first 4 or 5 hours of using this suit I would give it 4 or 5 stars - it fits well and stays dry. However, I spent about 15 hours in the pouring rain one weekend and returned home with a wet jacket. In the picture you can see a few white spots on the black - this is the liner which has peeled off over the weekend, getting dry from Friday and Saturday night to Sunday afternoon and then completely torn inside on Sunday afternoon. I bought these in May 2018…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance

Excellent purchase! - Motorcycle & Powersports

I'm usually between medium and large depending on the manufacturer. After reading the reviews and looking at the size charts, I couldn't decide which size to buy for a long time. I'm 5'6' about 150 lbs. The waist was too small and the chest too big for a medium. Waist was good for tall, but chest was too big. I met the medium and figured I could always return it if it didn't fit. I'm glad I chose the medium. When they say it's done to protect your clothes, they're not lying. It looks huge but…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Chunky
