I will def look into that. We got clobbered by the rain riding to the Cf rally in sept and my feet and hands were soaked. The rest of my gear held up well , and i had my track gloves in the car my gf was driving so i had a dry pair for the weekend.

Hey ebbs, you should tell all the CFers what not to do when you get a flat tire

And the frog togs work great! Had them on, hood up under my helmet, and plastic bags over my feet in my boots. Only thing that got wet was my hands

That and not putting your kickstand down before you try airing up your flat tire

no... the kickstand was down... but the bike was resting balanced on the rim... not the kickstand like I thought. and with the exhaust being both heavy and on the opposite side of the kick stand... that's the side it fell to.

ahh joy
