You guys are a huge help----thank you. I plan to start with the Sugoi Firewall, now winging its way from TE, and work my way through the others if necessary. I do ride in the rain for several hours at a clip (so to speak--OK, sorry), so would like to make it bearable without the slippery rain pants. Will let you know how it all goes.
