Nelson-Rigg Stormrider Rain Suit

In my opinion, I would have given it four or five stars if I had reviewed it after using it for about 4 or 5 hours. I stayed dry with it and it fit well. As of now, I have been in drizzle for over 15 hours now- Rain pours down from the sky in one weekend, and I'm home drenched with a soaked As you can see in the picture, there are white specks on the black surface. As a result, the lining on the car delaminated over the weekend, going from dry Friday night and Saturday to damp by lunchtime Sunday to completely shredded by the afternoon of Sunday. Having bought this in May 2018, I was able to wear it for about 2 hours prior to this weekend, which was a lot more inclement weather than I had It is fair to say that I was on a sport bike, so there wasn't much wind protection, and the speed ranged from 45 to 60 mph The twisties are 60 in the beginning, and then 60 for 15 minutes, and then 90 mph It is not advisable to run for more than 20 minutes in a row, as that can lead to flapping of the arms. It also happened to a number of my riding companions' jackets, so I wasn't the only one suffering from this failure most were far older however, I was not alone. I will be swapping this out with a 4 year old Olympia, in which case I would like to replace this. I must note that the pants held up fine they don't appear to be constructed of a double layer that can separate over time. If you only use rain suits for very short periods of time, this one might last a little while. For everyone else, be aware of the shortcomings.

During my trip to Seattle, I bought this rain suit. In the beginning, it worked perfectly, but when I got to Nebraska, the leak spread to all parts of my chest, shoulders, arms, and back. There are two layers of yellow material bonded together in the yellow portion of the suit. It tears the inner layer of the sleeves, back, and shoulders when the fabric flaps in the breeze. There are tears in these areas of the suit, which causes it to leak. In the picture I've included with this review, you can see it. Considering the level of detail put into the construction of this suit, it's a shame. I didn't realize how many seams there were. . . zipper on the front is waterproof because it is made of two layers of material. You can get it all for just $50. You should probably ignore this review since the price is so good. Buy anyway, since it's a great deal. You may also want to pack it in your pack if you're not going to ride 350 miles in a day, and avoid riding in the rain when it's predicted to rain. This will ensure that it will last for several years since you'll only wear it a few times per season. It would have been better if the tears only occurred on the yellow portion of the suit, or if it was all black, or mostly black. However, if you are going on a tour, when you will ride, rain or shine, then you should stay away from it.

It does not seem to work well for keeping water out since the rainy season just started in my country. I used it for three days and it did not work at all. The bag keeps you dry in some ways, but some of the water may run inside and get you wet if it's It works well for the top part, but not for the pants. As a result, your pants are wet due to the water filtering through the middle stitching. My opinion is that this is not the best product. Edited with care. In a week with heavy rain, I literally wore this rainsuit four times. I had to throw it in the garbage. As the protection in the pants wore off, they started skinning. I invite you to read. In case you don't believe me and still want to try this piece of trash rainsuit, I suggest you buy it in the raining season, so you can witness how cheap this is and Amazon will refund your money, because if one month has gone by, Amazon will tell you they cannot. I strongly recommend that you do not purchase this junk.

Our friend and I used this suit to travel from Chicago to Alaska and back on motorcycles for 2 weeks. We wore it on several days where we needed to keep it on for a few hours and on several days where we needed to keep it on for a Thankfully, her jacket kept her dry, although it split at the seam halfway through and she was only able to close it with the Velcro, which worked to close the zipper halfway through. As I was hiking, I wore through some of the inner waterproof coating in the butt area and got a moist butt. On the way back to my car, I broke a seam on my left inner It was fixed inside and outside with duct tape, and I used them all the time. During the two hours I need to wear them, they were fine. However, when I returned home, I found my butt was completely soaked the pants gradually wicked the water up and down until it was soaked into Seeing as I was on the last leg going home, it wasn't a big deal, but I tossed the pants as soon as I reached This suit will be fine in your saddle bags for that one time you're an hour from home and it's raining, but if you're going to be riding for long days in the saddle and need the suit to keep you dry for extended periods, then I suggest you It would not be useful during a long ride or trip for me to recommend this suit.

Having this suit worked out well. While we had to ride 55 miles to Grand Canyon and back to the hotel, it rained the entire time. At least we stayed dry! I found this to be I spent $175 on a.

I find that I am very comfortable in this rain suit. As an extra layer to keep the wind from blowing into my face when it is really cold and wet, I put it on when it is wet and cold. The outfit can be worn with just a minor issue in mind. If the zippers for the legs had been put inside the legs, I would have preferred them to stand out more. In most cases, then, it is much simpler to get to them on the inside than on the outsides, especially if the zippers are challenging There are usually only a few of them at a time. Despite its non-fit around my neck, my riding jacket collar is also up there, so this isn't a big deal for me. I am satisfied with the overall outcome. Mostly I would like to see a version with a leg zip on the inside. It would get 5 stars from me if it did that.
