• RRI lays claim to the world's first "convertible" cab top enclosure for the ATV enthusiast. Rain Riders Industries always "Ride Dry" and want you to ride dry too. RRI is extremely pleased to introduce the most versatile, functional and highest quality "cab top" enclosure for the ATV 4-wheeler industry available today.

• In West Virginia, in the backyard of the "ATV capital of the world", the Rain Rider™ Convertible Top was born. Two brothers (and avid ATV riders), Ray Miller and John Weddington, created the world's first convertible top for the ATV industry. As in all good inventions, the two brothers solved a problem that has plagued the ATV industry forever.
• The design was simplistic and extremely functional. They wanted a weather protection top that could easily cover the ATV rider "when the protection was needed", at a moments notice and without hassle.
• The enthusiasts looked everywhere for a "convertible" top in the marketplace and could not find one. So, they built one. And that is how the Rain Rider™ Convertible Top was born.
• Ray and John approached some business people and investors to help launch their new product. Everyone that they approached, that knew anything about ATV's, fell in love with the Rain Rider™ top. And that is how Rain Riders Industries was founded. Through proto type and R&D development, we at Rain Riders Industries believe we have what the ATV rider has been looking for.
• Rain Riders Industries is located in Charleston, West Virginia. Please contact us via e-mail, fax, or phone. The initial launch date for this exciting new product will be this Summer 2005.
