Rain jacket?

[Cerebus]

Does anyone make a rain jacket, maybe something over-sized, specifically just to go over riding jacket? I just bought a nice leather jacket, so I know I can't get it wet. I'm thinking something I could throw in my backpack, or if it's lightweight enough to fold up and put in a pocket, for days that rain is a possibility.

Would one of the $5 "emergency" rain coats like you can pick up at Wally World work? I'm thinking it might rip itself apart in the wind, although I can't imagine I would be driving too fast if stuck riding in the rain.

I wouldn't mind something cheaper though.

Icon and S&S make rain specific over jackets, but are pricey. You could look at Frog Toggs as a viable alternative.

Togg Frogs would be a good alternative.. Not too expensive and works pretty good.

Dennis Kirk has a bunch of pvc stuff on sale right now.
I try to buy local when I can so that the shop is there when I need them.
Just had to buy a Reg/Rectifier, $105 plus shipping or $105 plus tax.....

This is the make but I don't think it's the same model as we bought in 2005, but ours have lasted now for... 8 years and are still perfect. If you'd like a more rugged option.

I got this one

It is great at keeping you dry, and keep chill off you if between 40*-60*, fits in the tank bag easily. Only downside is no air gets in, and warms you up. The trick is making that downside a plus, eg riding in the cold, it actually helps warm you up Wore mine as a test in 45* morning commute and was sweating when I got to work 15mins later.

They also have a 2 piece: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/14/67/910/28893/ITEM/MotoCentric-Mototrek-Two-Piece-Rainsuit.aspx?WT.ac=SLIsearch

I have this set

Highway Toadz Motorcycle Frogg Toggs.

I Like these alot. velcro and zippers. Easy to get pants on and off. No flapping in the wind. Only thing that ever got wet was very end of pant legs once. Made for motorcycles, and you can buy direct and cut out the middle man. It fits over my Icon textile jacket as well.

Are your jackets the same size? ...or did you have to upsize the rain coat?

I bought the PDX jacket from Revzilla last year and love it. The quality is high, so I figure it should last forever (as long as I don't do something stupid).
The medium fits perfectly over my medium Cortec mesh jacket. The combination works so well in cold / wet weather that I won't be replacing my worn-out textile jacket.

How small can you pack it? Any chance it will fit under the seat?

Spent two solid days in pouring down rain in this (it was over my jacket), and not a drop got inside. Cheap, works, has pockets, cinches, holds up, 5 year guarantee, and actually looks good...
...oh, and folds up into nothing to fit in my tank bag...

Inexpensive too. That's a front runner there.

No, and it won't come close to fitting there. The material's too thick and the jacket has a vented liner inside. Mine weighs about 1.5 lbs.
