Breathable rain suit

The wife and I are going on a 10 day vacation on the bike in July and need to get rain suits. We have the Harley Overpass II rain suits but they're way too bulky to pack for a long trip. We need all the space we can get so I'm looking for gear that will pack small. Must be waterproof, BREATHABLE, and not take up half a saddlebag <g>. I looked at the HD Canal street for me and the new HD Jettison for her, both packed down small but they're not breathable or vented. Don't want Frogg Toggs either. Looking at these.... http://www.motorcycleleather.biz/sto...&productId=575 but the description doesn't mention anything about vents or breath-ability. Also checking out the Tourmaster Sentinel. Only going to need these for hot, wet weather. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Larry

20538 will become famous soon enough
I bought a Frogg Togg rain suit from Gander mountain for $50. it's very compact and breathable. I've been in pouring rain on the bike and just around the ankles and a little around the neck was wet.

To keep that neck dry, put your hood up inside a helmet. Works like a charm.

How dare you! He said already he doesn't want Frogg Toggs.

But for the life of me, I don't know why. I love my Frogg Toggs.

I bought the Frank Thomas 2 piece rain suit last summer. It has a removable liner so you can use it as cold weather gear as well. The fit is very comfortable as well.

Cyclegear occasionaly have sales on them so if you watch, you can get them cheaper.
