Got caught in torrential rain today and spent a very wet hour in horizontal heavy rain and gale-force winds. And sitting with wet underwear while wearing work clothes is not a nice feeling
My Dianese pants, which were Gore-Tex lined, have given up the ghost, and I'm in the hunt for a replacement set. And probably a new jacket while I'm at it.
Ideally I'd like a pair which can zip onto the jacket so the current situation where:
* My Dianese jacket fills full of air and flaps about a bit. I've lost a bit of weight and there's a bit of spare room. There are no anti-flap straps inside.
* The jacket inflates itself so I look like the Michelin man.
* This causes a rush of air to pull my thermal top up and work shirt out my now-loose pants causing...
* Copious amounts of cold air up my back, freezing my kidneys, and..
* Rain to freeze my assets and render me brass-monkeyable.
Does anyone have a waterproof jacket and pants combo that zips together? I've had a look at the various Oz accessory web sites, but it looks like they are a rarity. Dianese, for some perverse reason, don't seem to entertain the idea.
BTW, I'm not after one of those naff emergency plastic raincoat things that people wear over their leathers, making them look like they are learing a luridly-coloured gt-striped full-body condom.
Many thankings!
