Rain gear

I'm back again for some advice. This time for some rain gear I am considering.

I currently own 1 Astars leather suit and 1 RST textile suit.

My RST suit has a water protecting liner however in the last week or so because of its 'net' it accumulates a lot of water at the end of a ride. It didn't help me going to work this week at all. I need something that just doesn't hold water at all and easy to PUT on to my leather or RST suit.

I think I found a Dririder rain suit here --> http://www.bikebiz.com.au/products/Drir ... -Suit.html

Is this the type of product that will most closely meet my requirement? Suggestions please! :D

I've tried the 1 and 2 piece rain suits over leathers (also flannel pyjamas over leathers, but that's another story). I prefer the 2 piece rain suit I got from BikeMart in Ringwood - much easier to put on than the 1 piece, and keeps me 100% dry.

Vivek, while wearing leathers certainly offers maximum protection, good quality and I stress good quality in reference to your current textile suit, textile suits such as the one you have seen me wear offer protection, waterproofing & breathability in city traffic. Consider a good quality Goretex lined two piece textile suit for winter.

Dianese, Alpine Star, dare I say it...BMW too are all worth consideration. But, I stress, Goretex!
