Question

What is the best thing to use to waterproof textile motorcycle clothing ?

Answer 1

tent waterprofing

Answer 2

Best to buy Cordura nylon with Gore-tex, over polyurethane/polyethylene.  Fabrics heat up when they hit the road and doctors say it is pretty nasty to get these plastics ground into your flesh when you go dowm. Or buy kevlar, but it's expensive.

Gore- Tex is a micoporous material usually applied as the middle layer of the sandwich, it keeps you dry and also breathes.  You know how you wear rain gear and you sweat so badly that you would be dryer taking it off?

Gore-Tex is the answer.
