Has anyone tried this suit?:

For 49.99 it's probably the best buy i've seen on rain suits. I'm cheap, it's about all I can afford.

And I like bike bandit. Just wanted to see if anyone was familiar. Let me know!

They LOOK like frogg toggs. I can't tell if they are. At that price, go buy a set of Frogg Toggs

The cheapest set of frogg toggs (I've seen, i might have missed it) is $10 more, and can't be purchased from bike bandit. I'd be buying the suit with some other stuff so I'll save shipping and won't have to buy from as many places.

I can 100% vouch for the durabiltiy and dryness of frogg toggs.

If you do buy anything from bikebandit.com, make sure you wait till this weekend (Friday afternoon - Sunday). They are having a big sale with pretty substantial %s off on gear.

Hmmm... I might pick up another pair of the gloves I just bought too in that case...

I went to a shop that sells rain suits for construction workers and fisherman. I went in with my riding jacket and put the rain suit on over my clothes and paid $20cdn. I have worn them 4 times on the bike in the rain and have even rode 140km/h with the suit on and it hasn't ripped yet. The dealership wanted $100 for a rain suit that felt like a wind breaker that would probably also rip after a few rides. The suit is bright yellow which is kinda ugly but in bad weather you want to be seen.
