Rev-It gear 100% waterproof - my arse!

[BigOne]

I posted this on another thread-
the farmer gear is the way to go. it's strong and cheap.

There is a rain-wear company called ORINGI that makes farmer wear. Look up their web site. The fabric is rubberised polymer, 100% waterproof and 100% seam sealed. They make a garment called a milkers shirt that has no zips, no pockets, and wet-suit style cuffs. Put that on over riding trousers of the same type, and you wwill never get wet.
Whats more, it all rolls up small enough to get it under a sport bike seat, and it drys in 10 minutes.
I can get this gear on over my leathers in 1 min, and off again when it drys up. Its also very useful on dry days for a cold start early on winter mornings, when its a bit cold for just leathers.

The milkers shirt and pants cost about $230, and will do for several years.

I rode home yesterday from Taupo in steady drizzle. By the time I got to Karapiro the dampness had worked its way through the front of my jacket. Hit steady but light rain from there to Te Awamutu, and my arms and front were soaked. The crotch and inner legs of the cordura pants had also allowed rain to soak through. I know they were at the cheaper end of the market, but should,ve performed better than that.

I will be getting a set of the Oringi farm gear tomorrow and wearing it over my leathers from now on.

One Piece over suit guys, cheap as chips ($80 ish) and it dont leak ever the trick is to buy one size to big so its easy to get on as well

[awa355]

I still have an old nylon quilted jacket thats about 25 years old it still holds out both rain and water but wont do much good in a fall. The pants got ripped years ago, Motomail used to sell them. Dont know if they still do.

They need to be a big fitting or it is a real act trying to get into them but that was over Cordura gear which is big. I bought a two piece revit as it was easier to get into. No leakage problem. I have yet to try them over the new leathers which have a lot less bulk and a one piece may have been okay for that.

BTW my rivet pants leak in the crutch as the inner waterproof lining has split. The weakness with revit gear lies in the very thin waterproof membrane. In even light rain I need the overpants on.

Isnt that what I said?

Why are you wearing a one piece over Cordura ?

[Mystic13]

I'm with Q on the oversuit. I've used the two piece for yonks and you just stay dry with it on. The advantage of the two piece are;

- toilet stops
- any stops you can strip the tops off with ease.
- when the rain stops you can whip the jacket off and leave the pants on. Jacket off and on routine is easy.

Rev-it has never worked for me. The thing leaks like a sieve but worse.

Most Cordura leaks.

Most Cordura leaks.

Yes, and I dont sell it, one it usually fails on the waterproofness, and two its crap in a crash.
its popular because its usually cheap

With a one piece, just pee in it. If it is raining, no one knows anyway. And, if you are going to end up wet, may as well be momentarily warm and wet.
