Rain suits

Think it's time I got one.
Motomail are advertising this Rev'IT one for $129. Any one had any experience with this one?

Budget is fairly tight. Cannot exceed $200.

Any other recommendations (preferable with a location so I can check one out)?

If it's as good as the Rev'it two-piece, then it's top notch. I have that jacket and pants set to go over my leathers. Great gear. Jacket is a big help in keeping warm in winter, as well.

Not much point getting the two-piece, though, really. When you need the jacket, you need the pants as well, so you're I'd say you're on the right track. The one-piece is cheaper, too.

Top tip: when you bin in it and rip holes in the knees, etc, a piece of duct tape on each side of the tear is quite waterproof.

Hope you look better in yours Matt... its very 70's jump suit. Can you get them in just plain black?

Can't help thinking "Logans Run" when I look at that pic.

I think he'd look dead sexy in the red one.

It'd clash perfectly with the KTM.

I saw the red one and though oooo! I'll have that one.

Then I clicked that i've got an orange bike. I keep forgetting after the black Trumpy!

Ahh well we dont ride bikes for the looks do we... right? right?

Then again, my leathers are red and black. They dont actually look too bad on the orange KTM.

I have the Dri rider one piece $119? and thats waterproof!
I used it last weekend in the central north Island a& Ureweras (MMMMM ride) and apart from being slightly damp around the neck from water wicking in from the balaclava was completely dry.
That was a fair test.

$99 Colemans. One piece. I bought one the other day - dry as a wooden rattle when I got home through the downpour.

Seriously recommended. I get one every season or so.

Whysat? Shortly lifespan?

I know they dont last forever ofcourse, particularly around the crotch. Anyone else got a decent lifespan out of one?

I guess because of their price it's not such a hit if they start to leak after a year or two.

Good feedback peoples. Cheers.
