[SKTR]

As a preference, I won't ride in the rain. Sometimes while touring or on an extended trip the weather just doesn't co-operate, so I bought rain gear. My 2 pc suit is lightweight, looks good and has reflective piping or stripes for safety. For the most part it is easy on and off, (worst part are the leg zips). I am an old guy with dunlap disease so reaching down to zip on or off can be a chore. The gusseting material can and has gotten stuck in the zipper, especially when in haste suiting up in the rain.
I finally found the product to eliminate my wet foot problem in a rain over-boot made by CHOKO Design. They also make a rain mitt which is used over ones standard gloves. Each component has its own velcro closure pouch that are very compact. The mitt package easily stores in the boots package. The boots fold so compactly that while in the pouch they may scrunch to close to 1" in thickness. The length and width depend on your foot size. The boots have a rubber sole for traction and durability, have zip and velcro closure with an elastic strap to snug and streamline the fit. They work great, are not expensive . . 22 for the boots and 6 for the gloves. This may vary on the distributor where you find them. You can look at the product at the CHOKO Design website. Until you get the gear on, it does help to use a silicone spray using 4 or 5 coats as a base on your regular boots. Just my opinion, but works great for me.
