MOBIG - Water Proof - My Arse

**Ozzie** · 19th July 2006, 15:32

OI!

I know there are probably a lot of other threads similar, but....

When I got my bike a few months ago, I got one of those package deals for the kit. Changed out the Helmut, but kept everything else as standard.

Part of this kit was a MOBIG - Water Proof Jacket and pants. They are good on short trips, and cold weather, but not full on rain, and they are getting worse.

So, being the keen biker I am, I rode to work today, got soaked, finally dried out and it is almost time to go home again. Problem is, right at this second, it is pissing down, and I really am not keen to get wet anymore.

Not so keen to buy more kit to put over the top, so can anyone offer a suggestion as to how I can make the seams of these things actually waterproof?

Get hold of a bottle of sportwash, special cleaner for Cordura, wash thoroughly and dry completely. The apply spray on waterproofing agent from 3m, available in most hunting/ fishing stores and some bike shops. Apply 3 coats in total dry conditions, allow to dry and you area away. Or you could just bite the bullet and get some good gear.

Take them back, they are warranted as waterproof.

I use the $10 wharehouse yellow pvc, nothing gets in !

Hey these might work for Dover and his blood/poo gaiters, just tape up around the ankles and bobs your uncle

Do you know for how long they are warranted? Is there a standard 12 month warranty?

Throw it all away and but some decent Cordura, hydro pro and other quality brands utilised on the QUASiMOTO gear, and cause your a good prick I will do you a set of cordura for $300

This is the same man who wears a rubbish back ducked taped to his one piece.

Sounds mighty good of you Quasievil, thing is, I don't really want to end up with a complete set of gear for every day of the week.

Is this Mobig stuff really that shite a product?

I second that.

I use the Mobig 1 piece and find it pretty good. If it is AB-SO-LUTE-LY hosing down then yes - I'll get a little wet - but mostly on hands and feet.

We don't do Mobig, but 12 months is the norm. There's also the CGA to protect you too.

Tell me more. Did you wear holes in 'em?

I went off the road and almost kept hold of it, but at the last second the front wheel slipped in mud, I went for a roll in said mud. No visible damage to the gear, save some stubborn mud that does not want to wash off.

That'll be cool then. It doesn't matter if they're dirty. I'd help you out, but the importers know we don't stock them.
BTW, where is the water getting in?
