ALPINESTARS QUICK SEAL RAIN SUIT

Getting caught in a downpour on a motorcycle sucks. Wet weather gear isn’t something we all think of packing, but this Two-Piece Rain Suit from Alpinestars is just the thing. The suit comes in its own carry bag that is around about the size of your average toiletries bag. The jacket and pants are made from a waterproof, breathable material with taped seams. Dual flaps on the zipper add additional protection and reflective details make for a nice safety feature. This might not keep you dry on day-long wet rides, but it’ll keep your hide dry in an emergency.
