Charlie,

Last year I bought some "higher quality" rain gear that is manufactured
by "Teknic." So far I've used it a dozen or more times in pounding rain
and always come home dry. It goes well over jackets and pants. The
coller is high so if you wear a helmet when it's raining hard your neck
doesn't get wet either. The pants come with suspenders and they have
zippers on the bottom of the legs w/straps to hook around your boots.
They were about $125 for the jacket/pants combo. Good luck hunting!

Hi All,
In anticipation of warmer but still wet weather, I've began my annual
search for some raingear that suits me. The local "big four" dealer
stocks the plastic cheapies which I have and the Belstaff Tsunami.
Anyone tried the Belstaff or the Tour Master equivalent? What I'm really
looking for is a jacket and pants in red (with black, silver or other
color secondary). Any other recommendations? I'd really like to stop
looking like a yellow or blue Michelin man! :-) Thanks!
