Tourmaster Standard Motorcyle Rainsuit: A One Way Ticket to Soaked Underwear
Star Translation

If you like to save money, and don't mind riding a motorcycle in soaking wet underwear, this is your rainsuit.

The Short Story

If you like being wet on your motorcycle when it rains, the TourMaster Standard rainsuit will do perfectly for you. But, if you're like me, and you feel that a rainsuit's sole purpose in life is to keep you dry, I'd suggest you save your money and keep shopping.

Why we gave it 2 stars

This rainsuit is extremely inexpensive for a two-piece motorcycle rainsuit. While performance was abysmal, we couldn't deny the fact that this rainsuit was much, much cheaper than most of their competition. Hence, we gave it 2 stars solely based on price.

The Good:

  • Cheap
  • Not bad on the style meter.
The Bad:
  • It doesn't keep you dry, at all.
  • Neck pieces are not appropriately lined so they hurt when tightening up.
  • No burn guards on the legs, so holes get burnt in the suit when near the motorcycle's exhaust.
  • If you are looking for another bad reason, just read the first one again.

The Cost

$59.99 + tax purchased from a local motorcycle store.

Does anyone have brands that they are happy with? I looked on the internet and what I found was mostly $40 to $60 so I would have thought $60 should be a good set.

I've yet to find a good pair myself. I've heard a few people say that the Harley brand is actually quite good. I just can't bring myself to wearing something that has HD printed all over it. You may want to check out the forums as well - there has been some discussion going on about this topic.

i purchased the hd $100 2 piece suit for myself my wife and 3 kids and rode thru 5 plus hours of rain in montana and wyoming and not a complaint from anyone well some complained but they were dry. i like the way they fold into themselves and take up very little room in your saddle bag. well worth the $ spent plus we all ride hd's so thats what we do is advertise right!!! good buy
