nman1 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Why not wear your sailing gear Al, I`m sure thats WELL waterproof, I have seriously worn those yellow oilies (bottom half) I brought for that trip a while ago. Brilliant at keeping water out even around the crotch. Wish I`d have used them last Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Eddie Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My Goretex Hein Gericke jacket has proved to be great, but then again my RST Pro-series trousers have also never let a drop in. At £300 for a full set of the RST I'd stronly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I can buy a tumble dryer for less than £300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I can buy a tumble dryer for less than £300 Must have one HUGE bike rack to transport that t'rally!!! And... If no mains power available, how long would a 12vdc to 220vac invertor last when powered from a bike battery?Looking at a one-peice oversuit at around £40.

nman1 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Al, Roy got one that apparently works really well from the BMF for £20 ( I think) might be worth waiting if you`re not doing many miles in the rain up until then. (supposed summer being on the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiffmasterII Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I've been through Scottish weather in my Hein Gericke suit and stayed stone dry, the suit did cost me £750 and I look like a south cardinal buoy but does the trick, my boots also work well theyre TCX touring boots, cost around £140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susieque Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 When you've had occasion to put it to the test Al, don't forget to do a write-up in the Tried & Tested But then again, if it's Hein Gericke own make and they're closing down no-one else will be able to buy one!!
