Frogg Toggs

[E-Fishin-C]

I would like to know what model of Frogg Toggs you use?

The waterproof ones.:banana:

[Wanderer]

I just use my $15.00 plastic walmart. Patricia uses the Pro Action and likes it very well.

[Marcarl]

Black ones with reflective silver stripes. Also comes with a hoodie that goes under the helmet. Along with that, we have rain boots that go over our riding boots and cover the calf of our legs as well.

Hey Charlie:

 

Mine are the same as Carl's and they work well. I believe they are called Tekk Toadies. They are motorcycle specific. You need to get them large enough to get over your gear. The hoodie is important in heavy rain. We came back from Arkansas last year in a heavy rain that followed us for a full day. We stayed dry.

I got the Road Toad set, which you can still buy but don't seem to be made any longer. I rode 1500 miles back from the Grand Canyon in rain, and never got wet. My jauntlet gloves got soaked and my hands turned black from the ink, but that was it. Of course, I have the giant windscreen of the RSTD to hide behind....

 

My buddy riding the R 1200 GS got totally soaked in his North Face full gear, Dexter's Laboratory rubber gloves, and over boots. Had to laugh at him in his $$$ stuff and me in my $59 Frogg Toggs.

 

That experience aside, there are problems. The nylon zipper has broken, so now all I have keeping my jacket together is the snaps. That happened half way back, so I put on my hi-viz vest and that sloughed off enough water that I still didn't get wet.

 

The pants are not "generous in the seat", so they bunch up and feel tight. I am not getting wet, but the cold rain can make me feel wet.

 

Remember when I said I put on the high-viz vest? These Road Toad set is "leather looking"... a dull brown colour. I think I want the Toadz Hornyz in Hi-Vis Green, because I want to be seen in bad weather. The problem with this model is I am not a fan of hoods, especially when they roll away to bunch at your neck and give you cramps. Well, and when they are under my helmet. I wonder if scissors could solve that problem?

 

Meanwhile, I'll just plan on staying dry in my Road Toads.

I use the Road Toads also, never a problem.

I got the ones Bass ProShop carries...yellow. Thinking they would stand out in the rain, I look like a giant bubble bee in the rain, but they work.

Hey Friend,

That's the best buy I've ever made! They are ultra light and you'll not sweat on hot humid rainy days wearing these! One does look like a Pillsbury Doughboy!!

Have a great day my Friend,
