Anyone tried the Spidi Salopette? Seems to go almost as far as the neck and I'm wondering would it be almost as good as a one piece rain suit . I wore something similar years ago while doing regular commutes and always stayed dry. Already have a rain trousers but for potential longer tours thinking about either getting a rain overjacket or getting full rain suit such as BMW ProRain 3. Consensus seems to be to stick with two piece set up but this Salopette might offer best of both worlds. Two piece lets me put on the trousers for riding on wet roads and jacket to go over my regular bike jacket if it's going to bucket down for a few hours riding. One piece- it's all or nothing.
So anyone tried it, any opinions?

, ordering one as soon as the buggers confirm what size will fit me. In fairness to my regular jacket it's waterproof liner does the job apart from a little bit that seems to sneak past the zip at chest level, the Salopette has enough height to reach up to that so I'll be grand in it. Might take somebody else's tip though and get a cheap decathlon or similar gore tex lightweight to wear under the jacket if a particularly sodden day is forecast.
