500RUK Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hey guys and gals.To cut a long story short, im an all weather rider, and im fed up of getting DRENCHED on my way home from work...... Ive got a belstaff all in one, that whilst it does an amazing job at keeping me dry, its a pain in the ass to get on and off after a long day in work.....Can anyone recommend a decent set of winter textiles/waterproofs that work well? I have a lovely set of summer gear, and now its time to buy the gear for the colder months . Now, i know nothing is 100% waterproof, but something that keeps me drier, warmer, and is easy to get on and off must exist!Cheers in advance....

Throttled Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 These have yet to leak on me and they have been tested for hours in the rainhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Weise-Waterpr ... 4ac9df6a1chttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPADA-912-Wat ... 4d007d4086 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I recently bought a secondhand Rukka jacket off eBay......I've yet to try it in the rain.....but I'll be suprised if it leaks.......and I have some Hein Gericke textile trousers that only leaked when I was deluged in Wales over a 6 hour period...... My Triumph gear has always been pretty good.....so check out the Outlet site......limited sizes available....but you may get lucky...... http://www.triumphfactoryoutlet.com/sec ... ns_jackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've got an old set of RAF wet weather gear which goes over the top of everything when it really throws it down - only down side is it's not breathable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimmers Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 yep, cheapy waterproof over jacket/trousers, they aren't breathable, so you can't really wear them during the summer, but they are great in the winter and they are really waterproof, nothing gets through them. It's like wearing a full suit of plastic though, so as i've already said, keeps you very warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
