    I'd rather have the rain than snow at least we get several days in the winter with no rain and the temps are in the 40-50 range. We've had some 60's even in Feb a few times. I carry Harley rain gear in the winter month but don't seem to use it a lot here. Its when I'm traveling in the riding season that I have to break it out for those mountain storms that come along.

    ONe OF THE BIGGEST problems with rain gear it packin it.'
    The rain gear I showed packs very very small, it is super breathable and keeps you cool and dry.
    I am interested in being dry , and the rain gear not takin up a lot of room.
    I could care less what it looks like.
    If its UGLY mabe one of those Dorks driving the cage might see me better and not run over me or the OL in the rain.:rant:
    I got a reason I live in Texas. It hardly never snows her.
    I hate snow...............:cussing:
