Can anyone recommend wet weather gear to go over a race suit?

I have found this stuff from Respro...

The problem with most wet weather gear is that it flaps about.

I was in Cycletreads ages ago & they had the clear over jackets they use on the telly. Sminky I thought, that'll go in my panniers. T'was not to be, $50 was a bit steep for me so the bin liner still resides.

Just get your pit crew to wrap you in cling film before you go out. Sponsor logos are still visible that way.

The respro stuff is great dude, I had one and it doesn't flap at all, its kinda like stretchy lycra with a rubber coating.
I raced in very heavy rain in mine and it was fantastic for keeping the upper body dry.
Would highly recommend one:yes:

Tip for use : put it on your leathers before you get into your suit......much easier!

Yeah the Respro stuff has some good reviews. Just wondering where you got yours from? How much did you pay?

Darren and Ash from the superbike school both use the respro gear and think it's great.

Getting the Respro gear cause it's free shipping from the UK to anywhere in the world and the NZD is smashing the GBP at the moment.
