Excellent DoubleGuard in all areas.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The color and shape are as shown in the Image, but it felt surprisingly thin.
It is a Y's Gear product, but there is no noticeable Logo, so I personally rate that highly as well.
I don't like the ones with the large manufacturer logo on the back.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
I am 181cm tall and weigh just under 70km and purchased a 3L, which is slightly roomy over my regular clothes.
Rain pants can be worn with Over Pants underneath.
It is very helpful in the winter because I like to layer my clothes.
In addition, the hems are slightly longer, so they will not slip up in the riding position and get wet inside.
How was your experience with it?
Used the day after purchase as it rained immediately (slightly light rain).
It is a 30km one way commute and was very comfortable with no flooding like the previous Rain Wear.
I commute by motorcycle even in heavy rain, so I have high expectations for the water resistance in that area.
I chose the color Orange, and it has good visibility and looks good even in dimly lit rainy weather.
The rest of the DoubleGuard in various locations is excellent.
SleeveDoubleGuard, in particular, shuts out water from Gloves.
No unpleasant wetting.
WaistDoubleGuard is good because it has a good fit around the stomach and prevents flooding.
Now it's just a matter of how many years they will work hard....
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Nothing in particular so far.
How did it compare to other products?
I have been using Rain Wear made in Thailand all this time.
After about a year and a half, the crotch area became heavily flooded and I was quite disappointed and purchased this product.
I was introduced to this product by a friend who has purchased Repeat many times, and I expect it to be durable.

New Model and how? I am satisfied even though there are some uncertainties.
I was a day rider who did not ride on rainy days or days when it was likely to rain, so I only had Rain Wear for emergencies, which is not for motorcycling. I looked at the actual product, tried it on, and compared it. I was not in an environment where I could see the actual product, try it on, and compare it, so after looking at various sites and worrying about it, I decided to go with this model in L size.
We thought the price was a little higher than other manufacturers' products with the same specifications, but we thought that the new model should satisfy the user's needs the most.
Vivid color is better for safety, but soloTwo is not supposed to be conspicuous, so I expect the color of my friends who ride together with me. I like the style and design.
The pants have a sufficient inseam and a good thickness, and the hem width is about 25mm when the Velcro adjuster is fully opened. It will not be hard to put on and take off with boots on if you fully open the Velcro adjuster. The Velcro adjuster near the hem is long and wide enough to prevent gaps and flapping.
It is not inadequate, but a slightly deeper inseam might be more comfortable for motorcyclists who lean forward.
I am not sure about its waterproofness, soaking resistance, breathability, etc., but the specs are good enough. I am expecting DoubleSpec. cuff and collar guards. The additional collar guard is very effective against rain dripping from the helmet since it can be removed and put on while wearing the Velcro back collar and adjustable around the neck perfectly.
As others have said, the front fastener has been changed from the watertight fastener of the old model to a normal fastener. However, we trust the decision made by the manufacturer in consideration of usability and water resistance.
We often hear people say that the included storage bag is too small to fit in, but this does not seem to be the case with this model.
It is not an emergency carry-on size, but I think it is a small size for touring. It is not a size that I always carry for emergencies, but I think it is small enough to be used as touring luggage.
Rain Wear is an item that you don't want to use as much as possible, and because it is not used that often, a low price is demanded, and when it is used, various functions are required in addition to the basic performance of waterproof breathability. It is also difficult for users to make a choice.
First of all, I think the best choice would be a mid-level model from a manufacturer with a proven track record and reputation.
I don't want to be in a situation where I have to use it, but if I don't use it, I won't get the results I want, so I'm tempted to use it...
Rain Wear is so difficult!

Cost performance is good
No problem for rain gear, I guess that's what you get for the price. I think so. View detail
Satisfied with the functionality, Neck guard is useful
The Rain Suit made by MotorcycleManufacturer has been thought of in many ways. It's a real itch that needs to be scratched." You can feel that
Until now, we have been using Work●n, which is popular among Motorcycle riders.
The Motorcycle, by its nature, is hit by rainwater from the front at a tremendous speed while running.
In this regard, the front of the Waist of the Rain pants was made a little longer (above the navel) to prevent rainwater from coming through the border with the Rain jacket.
Also, the removable neck guard was a nice change from Large for someone like me who uses a Jet helmet. It keeps rainwater away from my neck.
Also, the hems of the Pants are made long and do not slide up in the riding position.
As I thought, this area is indeed made for Motorcycle.
I used it on a rainy commute the other day and didn't get wet.
The size when stored was about the same as the Work● 2L Size, but the YAMAHA one was stored roughly after being worn, so I think it will be a little smaller if it is folded properly (I have included a photo).

Performance over price
I have not had a chance to use it since I basically do not ride in the rain, but I used it for the first time on a recent expedition to Shikoku, a little more than a year after purchasing it. Here are my impressions after wearing it all day.
Breathability is good as there was no steaminess
The large card at the neck prevents water from entering through the neck even with a jet helmet.
The storage size is larger, but the mesh lining is still comfortable to wear.
It rained quite a bit, so the chest area was slightly soaked, but the mesh jacket was not so wet as to be uncomfortable.
There are better Rain Wear products available for more money, but I think the balance between price and performance is satisfactory considering the frequency of use.

Interior total mesh is very good
I used to use the Yamaha Cyber TEC CTXJacket, so I was sure that it would be waterproof.
This time, I chose this one for perfect waterproof performance for my commute.
Since it has a full mesh interior, I transplanted the protector compartment of my old Thailand Tech Jacket to this one, so it's a waterproof suit with protector.
I'll wear my commuter slacks and CutterShirt, and over that I'll add the Inner Jacket that came with my Thailand All season jackets, and I'll be good to go in the dead of winter.
If you wear ThermalTights underneath the slacks, you'll have no problem keeping warm.
Now I can commute to work every day in the three seasons of spring, autumn, and winter with peace of mind.
In the summer, I will store it in my gear box and wear it only in the rain.
