Sizing does seem a little generous, I'm a 50 jacket and pants and the 50 felt more like a 52, particularly with the pants. Maybe just catering for more flexibility with under-clothing, the jacket has adjusting straps at the sides to draw it in if needed.
Bought it from Rainbow in Rotherham, they always look after meWhere did you get it.
Did they give you any discount
let me know what you think after the test runBought it from Rainbow in Rotherham, they always look after me
Tried it on tonight and adjusted the armour position in the trousers, the storm collar in the jacket is clever, it hides a waterproof hood which stops rain running off the back of the helmet and down your neck. If it's warm the complete collar can be unzipped off.
I'll test it properly this weekend as the forecast isn't good.
Tried out the new Street Guard suit today, got caught in a large down pour coming back from Nottingham, arrived back home sat in a large puddle, suede seat seems to hold water, and I thought my ass felt damp, can't be right, so a quick trip upstairs and all was perfectly dry, so first impressions are good.
The knee protectors will take some bedding in and feel a bit uncomfortable at the moment but if they are the same as what's in the Atlantis suit they will be fine with a bit more use.
I like the fact it's waterproof liner is laminated into the garment and isn't something else you have to take out and the 3M Thinsulate thermal liner can be worn as jacket on its own.
I'm happy enough with it at the moment as I prefer suits that are not too gawdy or stand outish with lots of makers names on.
Gents what is the cost of the full suit ?
Any more updates, is it bedding in now?
Yes Johnny, the protectors have moulded nicely now. Rode to Brittany and back in it and had a good cross section of weather, it was 26 degrees riding down and with all the vents open was really comfortable. Riding back home it was pretty much torrential rain from Birmingham up to Chesterfield, the suit kept me perfectly dry with no water ingress. What I like about it is that it will protect you in a broad range of conditions, it's a bit pricy but you can buy the jacket and trousers for the same price of just a jacket by 2 other leading brands. BMW gear seems to fit me well also.
I recently ordered a set to try on at my BMW dealer and went today to have a look. BMW's Streetguard sizing has changed for 2014 as apparently they have taken into account the larger sizes of folk nowadays. I found that where I needed a size 64 in the new Rallye trousers, I only needed a size 62 in Streetguard.
