Can anyone make any recommendations for a one piece waterproof for my Gillion the pillion..
She's skinny (unlike me) :mfr_lol:
Da Ya mean thin waterproof suite to go over her other kit? as in none breathing, basic keep ya dry kind of thing.
Spada do a good one http://www.feridax.com/productlist/3/3253/waterproof_oversuits.html
There ok are those one piece suits, HG do a few different types but its like being a boil in the bag takeaway if the weather suddenly gets warm. :sweatdrop:
Would it not be a better option to just get some goretex guaranteed to keep you dry textiles?
we got two really good gimp suits from aldi last time they did there great bike deals, about £20. id wait for it to come round again, they are not breathable but are waterproof
Gill has a HG goretex suite, which is the muts nuts, but is concerned about getting very wet (last years journey back from the N.W 200 took 7 hours, in horrendous weather), and she doesn't want a repeat performance..... I can understand that :yes:
I reckon she needs an 'over suite' which is just waterproof.....when she's on the bike she wears more layers than a bloody onion anyway :mfr_lol:
got mine from aldi or lidl,(never know whos who with these) made by crane,,,zipper n velcro on the boots,huge zipper on the front with velcro,goes fromtop of left leg up across chest to right shoulder.
easily zips on n off with all ya kit on,had mine 3yrs now,n its still waterproff with no leeks,an yeap,,,it was £19.99... :yes:
I have spent my near 35 years working outside & as far as I am concerned no one made a water proof proper yet. Try a wet suite...keep you warm on the bike too & you can piss in them ..I do mine...thats why it's always out on balcony to dry.. cant have it in flat as smells like old peoples home..piss smell....!

i work outside too guys,have done for 25 years!!!!!!!!!,but as i dont ride my bike in the wet n only get caught in the occasional shower,i an assure you,this has kept me dry!!!!
but,if i was "constantly" out in the wet i would have some gortex kit for deffinate.
just had a look on mega warehouse web site (old george whites site) they do a hi viz suit for £20!
We have the Kawasaki one piece suit, in 35 years of riding i can honestly say i have never had anything better, totally waterproof and really warm, the quality is exceptional well worth the money, and they look good too.
Thanks to all for the input.... I'm now 'researching options' :smiley:
Alpinestars El Nino is a good bit of kit.

That's a good spec suit. thanks for the heads up :yes:
I dont give a toss if it's top range like gortex you move around much u sweat so much u get just as wet.
