sorry chaps - but i'm having lodsa trouble coming to a conclusion.
would like to stick with the bmw gear if at all possible as it does seem very well manufactured.
like a couple of other threads, it would be nice to have something more 'wow' than plain old black, hence the original thoughts of the rallye2 or savanna systems.
since then, it appears that the goretex layer is 'within' the suit hance the suits absorb water to varying degrees in the outer layers.
has anybody got any experience with the new goretex ? laminate suits that bmw are producing that are apparently thinner, less bulky, are impervious to water at the point of contact.
like several others, the thought of one suit for all year round use appeals, and one that looks smart for the working day is even more appealing.
cash waiting - decision pending (very slowly) !! HELP !!!!!!!!!!

One minor niggle is could do with another pocket or two but at least the ones you do get are waterproof! Also nice never having to remember to take ya waterproofs with you & you never have to stop to put them on when it starts raining! - quite a boon recently with the short sharp showers then sun again 15 mins later. You can get a bit of discount if you know what size you need & have the patience to shop around a bit & wait for the right opertunity ie sales. I bought my jacket & trousers from two different places for this reason. One word of warning - the jacket & trousers have to be the same size if you want to use the the joining zip (apparently there are a few exceptions) - the zips vary in length according to the size. I would say its slightly to warm for the really, really hot weather, even with the jacket lining removed, but overall Im glad I bought the kit.
