Wet Weather Gear

[Bulldog]

I've got a one piece Revit suit from Motomail for $150. Easy to put on over my boots and jacket and is completely waterproof. Best buy in years.

Inflation mate..... the pants are now $8.83 (Yellow or khaki dark green)

Roll them up and attach to the back of the bike - use when needed.

The jacket is only a couple of dollars more.

Yip i use those pants too (khaki dark green), they are good considering the price, i fit them over my jeans. And also a fairydown rain jacket thing under my leather jacket. With these two I thought I would Id I at least wouldnt be soaked through apon arrival to work, no such luck!
Firstly the the holes that allow you to use your pockets in your jeans do more harm then good. And even with the largest size pants you can buy, and im no heffa, they are too short which just invites the rain to pour into your boots! and I got wet arms! Maybe my leathers need water proofing. Either way i got out of work cause they felt sorry that i had to ride for 30mins in the pouring rain, through flood waters! and was soaked through.

Cordura is the fabric they use (mainly) in the non-leather type motorcycle gear. Other stuff is used also, but cordura sort of the "jandals" of mc fabric.

Good stuff is usually waterproof, warm, safe (armour inserts etc), BUT bulky, and usually needs replacing if crashed.

Personally i rate it for commuting, touring or all-round riding.
