    Frogg Toggs

    I had to use my Frogg Togg's on the way home today when the storm brokeout. They go on quick, and I stayed bone dry. Easily worth the 60$.

    The Cruiserworks boots are great on the wet pavement as well.

    I like my Frog Toggs. They are lightweight and roll up pretty small but give good protection. They aren't real rugged; you can tear them; and you sure don't wan't to brush up against a hot exhaust. But balancing weight, protection, and cost I don't know of anything better to carry.

    Chris, Cruiserworks aren't cheap; you must have splurged. I envy you because I have been eyeing them for a long time. It does me no good even to save my pennies because they only make up to size 15, and I need one size larger. Instead I buy $20 knock off jungle boots from Sportsmans Guide and spray them down with silicone. No class.

      It pained me to save and spend that much money on boots, but I think they are worth it. I ride pretty much every day now back and forth to work, so I can justify it as transportation costs.

                There's a Frogg Toggs distributor about 15 minutes from where I work. When the forecast looked iffy before the great Midwest GS Rally a few weeks ago, I dropped by and bought a pair of Frogg Toggs rain pants for $30. My Joe Rocket jacket is waterproof, so I figured I'd be OK without the FT jacket.

                Saturday morning, we rode through the most incredible torrential downpour I've ever seen, and the pants didn't leak a drop. My knees stayed perfectly dry, even though rain was pounding into my legs at speed.

                It's the first breathable material I've ever seen that is actually waterproof AND that actually breathes as advertised! The pants were perfectly comfortable when we stopped for lunch, and never felt clammy or sweaty. They also don't make that icky crinkling noise like a lot of waterproof materials, including my JR jacket.

                They pack down small, and are much more durable than vinyl rain pants.

                Excellent stuff, and even better than advertised!

                  They also serve as a good chill layer if the you get caught out in a colder temprature than you planned. They even have a hood that pulls up and fits under your helmet keeping chill off your neck. If if gets really colder that you planned you have enough room to slide newspaper underneath them. They just offer a lot of versatility for their bulk and weight.

                  Only complaint I have on mine is no pockets.
