1 piece Frank Thomas oversuit, fits over everything (inc armoured leathers) monsoon proof and disappears up it own pocket to form an easy to carry pouch.

The Dririder one piece zips up into a bumbag so it's easy to carry and keeps everything out pretty well.

For winter this year though I'm thinking about a set of Dririder Nordic Pants and Jacket (I'm getting to old to freeze my arse off)

yup i got one of those 2....cost abt $100 ...think ive worn it 3 or 4 times...its a great idea, but im too lazy to put it on..if i ride in the rain these days i just get wet, and worry abt it wen i get home...i live 3km from work, so i cant be assed putting it on to ride to work, and leave my bike in the rain all day, thats wot i got a car for....

actually..u want it?? make me an offer....

Muscle up and ride fast - fark all rain touches you :!:

But if I want to ride normally Dririder pants + Carbon Force Jacket does the trick.

Bright yellow Rjays rain suit.
Cost me 80 bucks, covers everything.
I leave it tied to the pillion seat and if it starts to piss down I pull over and slip it over my leathers or whatever the hell im wearing.
I get to work dry every time.

wet weather gear is a good start.

Those one piece rain suits work pretty well. All day in one will eventually see leaks around the crutch, but not from an hour long commute in the rain. They go over pretty much everything if you buy a big enough fit.

If however you wear a suit, or pants and shirt, a good pair of thermal, waterproof and armoured pants and a jacket the same are a safe and comfy alternative.

I bought Joe rocket gear which works really well, but the new dri-rider stuff with 500 denier cordura and CE armour sounds like a good budget alternative. Although you can pick up the Joe rocket stuff for the same price if you shop around....... :wink:

I wear a one piece suit over normal gear.

Cheap between $60-$100 bucks. Even some on ebay
Fits under seat, and need to get caught out.
