Re: [emrat:6387] Triumph Rain Suit

But don't do it in your concrete driveway on a F95+ degree day in July!  (it will rain inside your suit!)  Wayne E.

I had a moment with mine the first time or two.  But once you get the hang of it after a couple of trial and error try ons, its really pretty simple.  Just remember to take your motorcycle key out of your pocket before you zip it up hahaha.

My advice, treat it like a tent.  You never want to be setting up a new tent for the very first time at a camp site.  If you wait until then it will likely be dark. It will likely be windy. It will likely be pouring rain. It will  take you way longer than it should.

Set up your tent a couple of times in the back yard, try on your rain suite a couple of times in the living room.   You will be FAR happier when you actually need to use either item on the road and won't look like a fool in the rain :)

I have one of those suits and while it's a little tough to figure out the first time, it's a great product and keeps you dry.  Unfortunately, I also had a "Dan moment" with mine on a routine ride to Palmer Lake.  Hit a surprise downpour coming back on 105 and took a few rain drops to the body as I unraveled the puzzle.  I'm sure the passers by were amused. But once it was on me, it was 100% dry comfort all the way home.  Which is all to say that if you practice just a little with it (something I'm not inclined to do, unfortunately) then you're good to go.  First rate product, IMHO. 

Alas, as I'm inclined to do (my mixed results over the years not withstanding), I followed Dan's path to KLIM and that's a nice option, if not a tad expensive.

Tavis, I respectfully suggest that you first have Bonneville Bob put it on in front of the group--and we will time how long it takes.

 

Then, pretend that there is a torrential downpour coming your way, and you will have, say, 30 seconds to put this rain suit on.

 

(You should hold on to your money until Bonneville Bob has demonstrated this rain suit, and you are 100 percent satisfied with the product.)

 

TK will remember the time I tried to put on my Triumph rain suit north of Taos a few years ago and what happened . . . . . which is why I now wear a Klim outfit!

Hey Tavis, I'm assuming you will be at the meeting tonight and still want the rain suit. If you would, please confirm...thanks.
