Rain suits

[SPman]

Plastic Bin liner with holes for head and arms works OK as a rain suit, as well - I've had to resort to that when "caught short"........

Hopefully it was empty!

But on any trip where you are doing 100kph+ for any length of time they tend to vanish, leaving you with a black flappy necklace..

Looks bloody good - all the right features, including price.

Better looking than the 'Charlies Angels' suits Devil put up in the first post and within his price range...

I'd get stabbed if I bought another pair of gloves.

That's what you get for cohabiting with a redhead.

A good pair of gloves would be same/more than the $150 i've spent on the rain gear! (thinkin Spidi H2Outs).

Buy a pair of Rain-Offs for $60.

I'm loving mine. They're the waterproof-est things you'll ever put on your hands, plus you can put them over your existing not-that-waterproof-but-still-warm winter glubs, or wear them over light summer glubs when it rains in warm weather.

Or a goat?
Wasn't there some mention of a goat?

See http://www.rain-off.com/

You can go pick up a pair from their house in Titirangi.

Edit: Warmth-wise, they're not half bad, but you'd still want a proper pair of warm glubs underneath them for long trips in sub-5-degree weather.

(and some sunnies fit under the RR's seat)

You can fit sunnies under the seat? Luxury!!

(I'd buy the Motoline jacket to match the pants (assuming you can still buy them).

Is Motohause still stocking them? They had them this time last year.

The KTM has handguards so gloves aren't too much of an issue really. Just rode home in the pissing rain with my Joe Rocket sports gloves, totally vented and no water in them hehe. Everyone should have handguards.

Only problem i've really got left is boots! Been using the nikwax stuff, but it didn't do shit all the last time. I'll have to find something else.

Oh, and in the pissing rain. Warm and dry in the jacket and pants! Why the hell didn't I get this stuff sooner? Plus, you get home, shake them out and they're pretty much dry!

But but but the speed limit is 100km/h isn't it, Mr. PoliceOfficer, which means they're ok!

BELOW 100kph they disintegrate to leave you with a tattered Tina Turner mini-skirt - pick which look you woul rather have.....
