Just bought me a set this week - wait until friday and i'll give a full write up as to how they perform.
So far - lots and lots of pockets to loose things, but the external ones wont be waterproof - mainly pop studs keeping them closed.
Weathers looking to be shitty too, which'll be fun!

Reet then. For £250ish smackers, they perform as well as, if not better than the bmw twat suit.
For a start, the outer is moderately waterproof. The inner waterproof liner is definately waterproof, and has a velcro bit as well as a zip, followed with the outer zip and velcro. Thermal liner works too - was comfortable in snow and hail today.
The waterproof liner isnt as breathable as i'd have hoped, but hell - i'd rather be warm than damp.
Absolutely no water leaked in anywhere.
Bottom outside pockets have a fleece side opening behind the main pocket to keep your hands toasty!
Lots of adjustment in general to stop it flapping around (on say like the arms)
The trousers easily zip over boots (a/stars tech 3s in this case) and have pop studs to take in the slack.
Bad points:-
The chest pockets, because of the pop studs had a habit of flapping a bit on me (admittedly strong winds etc..but none the less distracting).
The zip which connects to the trousers, for me, is too loose - and I found the jacket to ride up a bit.
...compounded with the waist adjuster sitting around my man-mammories, didnt help either.
'feels' like nylon...when yer just riding in a tshirt..
If this was an £800 twat suit, i'd probably take it back as the pockets are a bit of a bind - there is only 1 properly waterproof pocket that i've found.
Fact that its £250 means its brilliant for the price, and i'll probably wear it more than the rallye 2 that i've got.
Gets my thumbs up!
