This is the ultimate rainwear! The Y'S GEAR "RY7001 Commuting Stretch Rain" that achieves both "stretch" and "breathability" is a god-tier item.

Are you frustrated by the stiffness and restricted movement of rainwear during rainy day touring or commuting?
For those of you, I wholeheartedly recommend an item that I personally consider the "ultimate rainwear"! It's the Y’S GEAR "RY7001 Commuting Stretch Rain".

"Ultimate Rainwear" RY7001 Commuting Stretch Rain

Although it's Yamaha's genuine apparel, the **simple design with no Yamaha logo on the outer surface** allows riders of other motorcycle brands to wear it without any discomfort.

What's even more amazing about this item is that the **"fabric is stretch material"**.

Despite being a 2.5-layer waterproof fabric, **it stretches considerably in all directions: up, down, left, right, and diagonally**. When you hold it, it feels incredibly soft, unlike typical rainwear. It lacks the usual stiff feeling, and the lining isn't mesh all over, so you won't experience the frustration of it catching on your clothes when putting it on or taking it off.

Furthermore, its moisture permeability is astonishingly high!

It uses Yamaha's original waterproof and breathable material, CYBERTEX, boasting a reliable initial water pressure resistance of 20,000mm/cm². Pay attention to the "initial moisture permeability" as well: the moisture permeability of **"20,000g/m²/24h," which prevents stuffiness inside the wear and directly contributes to comfort, is an astonishing figure rarely seen in general rainwear.** It effectively blocks rain while powerfully releasing moisture from the inside.

Detailed Features Explained with Photos

Here, we'll introduce the various features designed from a rider's perspective!

Double Storm Flap Construction

Inside the jacket zipper, there's a double storm flap specification to reduce the ingress of heavy rain and wind from the front. The folded fabric structure physically blocks rainwater from entering through the zipper gaps.

Neck Size Adjustment Drawcord & High Collar

The rear collar is designed to be high to prevent rainwater from flowing down from the helmet into your neck. Additionally, there's a drawcord at the neck for size adjustment, allowing you to tighten it to eliminate gaps according to your neck circumference.

Double Guard on Both Sleeves & Cuff Adjuster

Features a double sleeve (double guard) specification to prevent rainwater from entering at the wrists. Additionally, a cuff adjuster with a subtle Yamaha logo allows for size adjustment, effectively preventing water ingress and flapping.

Water-Resistant Zipper Pockets with Pull Tabs

Equipped with convenient pockets for storing small items like smartphones and wallets. They feature water-resistant zippers and pull tabs that are easy to open and close even with gloves on.

Air Ventilation (Back)

This is an air ventilation system that expels air from the rainwear, reducing uncomfortable stuffiness. Mesh fabric is partially added to the back, where stuffiness is a common concern, to further enhance breathability.

Abdomen Size Adjustment

The waist of the pants is equipped with a size adjustment strap, allowing you to achieve a snug fit for the rain pants.

Hem Double Guard & Hem Size Adjustment

The hem, which prevents rain from entering from the feet, also features a double guard specification, similar to the jacket. By tightening the hem adjuster, the structure is designed to prevent the hem from riding up even when the knees are bent while riding a motorcycle.

Convenient Storage Bag

Includes a roll-top storage bag with a handle for easy carrying. It folds compactly, making it ideal for keeping in saddlebags or other luggage.

Tested on a Rainy Commute

I am 177cm tall with an average build and usually wear a size L in riding jackets.
For this rainwear, I chose an XL size because I prefer a looser fit.

I actually used it for about an hour on my commute in the rain, and **there was absolutely no tightness when straddling the bike or operating the handlebars, making it exceptionally easy to move in**.
The initial water pressure resistance of 20,000mm/cm² is not just for show; **even after being exposed to rain for a full hour, there was absolutely no water ingress into the wear!** There was no uncomfortable feeling of cold rain seeping in through the seams or zipper gaps.

What I personally found great was the **length of the pants!**

The pants are made with a longer inseam, so **they sufficiently cover the legs even when straddling the motorcycle, effectively preventing rain from entering over the boots**. Furthermore, securing the hem with Velcro reduces flapping while riding, and there was absolutely no unpleasant rain ingress from the feet.

Also, thanks to the high moisture permeability and the back ventilation, **I felt very little stuffiness and rode comfortably**.

On rainy days, visibility is significantly reduced, so I found the bright colors like the "Lime Yellow" I chose, along with the reflector prints on both shoulders and the collar, to be very helpful for safety.

However, the RY7001 is designed to be worn over a riding jacket. It's possible that a size L would have fit comfortably without feeling tight. When purchasing, please refer to the manufacturer's size chart.

Conclusion: A Garment That Eliminates Rainy Day Stress

The Y’S GEAR RY7001 Commuting Stretch Rain achieves outstanding mobility with its high waterproof and breathable performance and stretch fabric.

For anyone looking to make their rainy day rides even more comfortable, this is undoubtedly the ultimate item I recommend!

Prepare for the serious rainy season and be sure to check it out!
