Thanks Bluebottle. I'm looking for stockists at the moment.

OP was looking for a one-piece suit, which I use only when I go long distances when I need to seal out the cold and rain. I find a one piece effective but slightly awkward if using daily - which I choose not to.

I'll look for the make, as mine has been bloody reliable and is so far, after many years, still holding up.

But for daily use - two-piece is the way to go.

I got waterproof trousers and leather gloves last time Aldi did a motorcycle special. There should be another one due soon. I think the last one was early March. So far, the trousers have done what they are supposed to do. They have very wide zip flares but I still have to take my boots off.

May be waterproof,but on my 3rd pair now,took the 1st 2 pairs back because after [1st pair] ripped after 30 seconds,1st time on,then 2nd pair ripped after 3 days,got my money back so bought 3rd pair,now £6 cheaper,left them on the table for 2 months,tried them then 2nd day ripped all the same place,just under the elastic,on the left side,but I think there are waterproof. :lol:

I just stick a pair of "Site" waterproof trousers from Screwfix and a massive cagoule on over my normal gear. Handy to keep under the seat and dry out a heck of a lot faster than any bike clothing.

How about these. If they only stay waterproof for a few months? And added protection for the old tum.

I've got plenty of waterproof trousers, but wearing my "Rayven"jacket while outside doing repairs at my sisters place I got it contaminated with paint and filler etc. so went to J&S for a replacement and got a Frank Thomas jacket which fits on its own or over my Alpinestars textile jacket and looks well made. Got it home and looked at the receipt "Dallas" ladies, size M... :)
