Anyone else use rain gear this way?

[SportyHawg]

I just got a new rain suit and am planning on wearing it as a wind block against the colder temps. Anyone else do this?

I looked at the heated stuff. But its too expensive. I thought I'd give this a try for an additional layer to see how it works.

I like the high-vis orange!

I use my rain suit for the cooler temps. It works! :cheers

I have a nylon 2 piece rainsuit and on ocassion have used it over my leathers for an extra layer of warmth. I do not have thermal gear, keeping to the Sportster "minimalist roots". I used it on my full fairing'd Katana before it moved to warm and sunny Arizona (son in law did not need the rainsuit...LOL)! :bigsmiley24:

I've use the pants from my rainsuit to help block the wind. Maybe someday I'll get some chaps.

I use my Harley rain gear as a wind blocker also.

Basically anything like a trash bag or newspaper will block the wind when worn under your jacket. A lot of people I know carry a large trash bag as an emergency rain suit or just to keep the wind from hitting you in the chest.

I use rain gear over my heated clothing ( Vest) the wind could actually tear the Gerbing vest

Yep, done that! Rain suit works well.
Also tried heated gloves, but did not like it much; fingers too warm without a thermostat while toes are freezing. Boggled the mind. Expense of more electric stuff was not a priority. Found it better to have all extremities equally unhappy.

I also use rain gear to get added warmth in cooler weather--especially in the early am on the way to work!

Works well-- by keeping the wind off you feel warmer.

Same here...layers with rain gear on top. Battery operated electric socks snowmobile gloves , neck gator, full face snowmobile helmet and I am ready to roll.
