Nelson Rigg Stormrider Rain Suit; 100% Waterproof, Pants and Jacket Included with Reflective Striping

Worked great at keeping me dry on a 200 mile rain ride. 80 or so miles were heavy rain. The only complaints are they are quite toasty in 73 degree weather, riding gear was wet with sweat but better than being soaked by rain. Also the collar Velcro is a little wonky and attached itself to my helmet multiple times over the weekend. Will be creating a cover piece of Velcro to help with this. They fit true to size meaning if you wear medium pants and large jacket get a large suit. This is a really good suit with high quality seems, zippers, and Velcro. It keeps you dry in the rain except for the sweat underneath. Would definitely recommend.

I am usually between a medium and large depending on the manufacture. After reading the reviews and looking at sizing charts, I had a hard time deciding which size to buy. I am 5’6’’about 150 pounds. For the medium, the waist was too small and the chest was too big. For the large, the waist was good but the chest was way too big. I took a stab at the medium thinking I could always return it if it didn’t fit. I am glad I choose the medium. When they say it is made to go over your protective clothing, they are not lying. It looks huge but fits fine over my clothes and leathers. And, everything stretches pretty well. If you are contemplating about what size to get, get whatever size you usually get in clothes. Don’t let all the charts and other reviews confuse you like they did me. I used the rain suit a few times now. It has kept me dry every time. Mostly, it was just a light rain here and there. I was waiting for a good downpour before I left a review. A couple of weekends ago, I was on my way to Houston from San Antonio. I was on the road for less than 20 minutes, and the rain started. I pulled over and put it on along with the boot covers a bought at the same time. It rained on me almost the whole way home. Some rain was light some was so bad the cages were going no faster than 40. In other words, it was pouring. I got home after being in the rain for about 4 hours. I was bone dry. Pros: It works really well. Top and bottom easily rolls into the hood for small compact stowage. High quality hook pile fastening (AKA Velcro). Stretchable straps under the heel. Drawstring hood that goes under the helmet. Snug around the wrists. High vis. colors and glint tape (reflective material). Collar goes high on neck but not to high that it makes it hard to turn my head. Cons: Hard to put my boots through when I am wearing my boot covers. When I pull the pants up my legs, my blue jeans come up to. Hard to put the strap under my boot covers.

I wanted to give 3.5 stars but there isn’t an option. I wore this rain gear for a whole day during a motorcycle safety course and it rained hard all day. The gear itself did well as it kept me mostly dry. My two complaints were the hood and the leg zippers. The hood is WAY too small. It only covered about 3/4 of my head, causing the rain to run down over my face. Ideally it should extend past the forehead. That was very irritating. The leg zippers kept getting caught on the excess material. Every time I had to zip or unzip it toget the pants off I spent ten minutes trying to fight the zipper. Other than these two issues it worked fine.

First photo is with a led surefire flashlight shining at me and the second is me driving away and a tiny street light making me glow! Update now since rain was experienced on(9/26/16)- first real rain I was complete dry and comfortable. I'm adding a photo now! Awesome product and protection for the price. This is my first legit rain gear for my motorcycle and I'm happy with it. My last gear was simply rain pants that eventually ripped when I scraped them on a bunk of lumber when I got to work and they always rode up on my pants while riding so that was never fun to deal with. My previous upper body "rain gear" was simply a thin, small wind and rain throw over with sleeves and my riding jacket that only the inner liner is water proof so when I got to work my riding jacket would be soaked and I would be pretty mad I had to dry it before I left for home. So this product I bought I recieved really fast and I used it the very next day, "today, 9/23/2016". It worked really well, I really only needed the pants and my boat covers becuase of the highway still being wet and spraying my bike and legs but the entire time I felt completely dry and comfortable. It was an added benefit that from all sides cars could see me becuase of the bright greenish-yellow upper body. On the highway someone was attempting to merge into my lane and normally they would just continue but this driver immediately saw me and kind of served back into their lane. That was nice not being cut off because of the high viz jacket!! I would definitely buy this again. Little info on me, the size I bought, and why I choose that size. So, I am roughly 144 pounds, 5'10" and a pretty slim skinny build type of guy. (Also in 22 years old) I went with the large option because I was tired of my pants riding up in the rain so that added length is nice to have (plus the stirrups that go under your foot is awesome!) if your pants are to big just pull them up as high as possibile and roll the top where the stretchy thing is downward and that makes the pants shorter in length and still weather proof. The added material helps me able to fully put on my riding jacket and it be completely dry after a rain ride. Overall the product is built strong with great material. I would purchase again. I hope my review helps people out.

I'm a big guy and this will run just a little smaller than the Size, otherwise, good quality rain gear!

I've owned mine 3 months and used it twice. I bought the orange one and I'm happy about the visibility, It seemed like everyone could see me in the storm. The first time, the rain hit me unexpectedly while riding and I had to ride about 5 minutes through a downpour to get to shelter to put this on. I was soaked, and found riding with it on to be worse than riding through the rain, because it was a warm day and the jacket turned into a sauna suit. It was incredibly uncomfortable and an awful ride! The second time, it was a very cold day, I knew I had to ride 2+ hours through rain and put it on ahead of time. It kept me dry in a very bad storm, I couldn't go over 25 without sliding and honestly should have pulled over and waited it out. The large size fit over myself and a big jacket. I drove through a downpour for over an hour, left it on the rest of the day, drove through another heavy rain storm later, and arrived completely dry. In the cold, I didn't find it too warm and appreciated it for breaking the wind over my knees. It was basically perfect. I'm giving it 3/5 for working well under perfect conditions. It definitely needs improvement to allow evaporation, rain coats have all kinds of ways to do this. However, I'm reading a bunch of reviews now that say they had experiences like mine and then it delaminated after a couple months, so I'm going to buy something different. I did not have any trouble with delamination or the leg melting in storage or while riding. I keep this in my bike for emergencies where I need to ride through rain, but now I can't trust it, and am going to buy a different rainsuit. So I guess my recommendation is don't try saving the buck here unless you really can't afford antyhing else or you're willing to gamble. And especially don't buy the black one unless you're nuts lol, if you're that worried about looking cool just power through in your t-shirt and sneakers

Recently did a 800 mile ride to Kentucky, about half of that was through some pretty intense thunderstorms and when it wasn't storming it was still raining pretty heavy. I've never used rain gear before so I don't have a frame of reference, but this definitely set the standard for me. I was bone dry for the most part. I had a small wet spot on my lower belly, but I ride a cruiser so I'm sure that was due to my posture and having some water settle there during the ride. This made what would have been an absolutely miserable trip into an enjoyable experience. This is going to be a staple in my trips going forward. If you plan on doing long road trips I highly suggest adding these to your kit. They roll up really tight and can easily fit in a backpack or saddlebag with room to spare. There is no worse feeling than getting soaked and freezing your butt off afterward, make sure you're prepared. Also I'm 6ft 170lb with a 32 inch inseam. I ordered the medium and it fit over my riding attire perfectly.

**This review focuses on the fit. I haven't yet ridden in the rain. I will update my post after I've actually road tested the suit.** Let's start by providing you my size. I'm 5'10" and weigh about 165 lbs. I ordered a large, and I like the overall fit. The pants fit well. There's a zipper on the bottom of the legs allowing you to easily slide the pants on over your boots. There's an elastic band that goes under the boot, holding the pants down. Pants are roomy enough to wear over chaps, etc. but not so large that I'm swimming in them. The coat sleeves also fit very well. The front zips, with a 2-layer storm flap that seals with velcro. I am confident that it will keep the rain out. The neck and sleeves are highly adjustable and hold in place with velcro. There is a hideaway hood under the collar. The coat has a wide elastic band at waist level, which helps keep a reasonably comfortable fit for warmer weather riding, but allows room for expansion if you want to wear a leather coat underneath. I estimate that the elastic expands six inches or so. There's also a drawstring at the bottom of the coat, allowing further waterproofing. I wear a helmet, so I did not pull out the hood and cannot speak as to how it will work. **Edited August 28, 2014** I've ridden several times in the rain since my original review, and all I can say is *bring on the rain!* Previous to now, I would not ride if the forecast showed a 40% chance of rain or more. Now, I'll ride even if it's guaranteed rain. The suit keeps me completely dry. Who knew that riding in the rain could be so much fun. Owning a rain suit has completely revolutionized my riding habits. From now on, I'll be putting many more miles on my bike per year. I also purchased the Nelson Rigg WPRB100-2 Rain Boot Covers (size medium). I wear a size 8 boot, and these boot covers fit well and keep my feet dry and comfy.

Good quality

Have worn those for 200kms on motorcycle in heavy rain.... not a drop of water leaked though ...love that gear. Just make sure you get them large enough to cover comfortably.

I ordered an XXL size, I am 6 feet tall and around 220 lbs, I have long gorilla like arms and hate to have cuffs ride up or tug at the shoulders, especially if I need to wear it over a jacket like this will be. Well the body fits great, and the arms are a little long, but with the velcro at the wrist to tighten as needed the size works out well, lots of room and no tugging as happens when sleeves are too short. The pants fit ok and again have enough room to accommodate wearing over jeans or whatever I am wearing at the time. I may have been able to get away with XL, but am perfectly content with the XXL and the extra room it gives me.

Absolutely waterproof. 70mph for 10 miles in pouring rain. Dry as a bone underneath
