Love the Frogg Toggs / Road Toggs. I've tried a number of different types over the years, love these the best. Crumple up small, super lightweight, and well into the winter will just wear the jacket to break the wind. And can't beat the price.

I use a cheap $17 rain suit from Walmart. I've had it for over 2 years, through a couple dozen rain storms. I'm content with it.

And the wind hasn't shredded it yet? I've had a couple Walmart specials and the wind has destroyed both of them. Maybe they make them better than they used to.

That is exactly where I am at now. Burnt my FT bottoms last year at the ST Jude Rides Peoria to Memphis ride and still use the top. But that ride is coming up again in Sept so I need to find a new set that won't melt!!!!

Got a pair of River Road Rain Gear this time. Looks like my trip to Memphis next Thursday may require them both on the way down and back up.
