BMW Rally suit alternative

[samuelsnow]

I am the owner of a Rallye 2 suit in red I have decided that it is now a bit too bright for me and at the risk of sounding like Trinny & Susanna clashes painfully with my yellow and black 800GS! Im not a fan of the new range of Heine Gerricke Tuareg suits so what are the alternatives in terms of travel/enduro suits?

There are only 2 choices: twat or gay suite.

Chinese make loads'o alternatives to twat suites, with maching colors available helmet+bike combinations:

I've just got the Rev'it Dakar pants/Off Track Jacket combo so fsar so good...
it took one week exactly from order to arrival, the on line sizing thing is spot on anbd comfort wise it's very good, with the thermals in it's far too warm atm so one would assume it'll be fine when it's cold, Without any linings in it's nice and cool as it should be, the only thing I can't comment on is it's waterproofness, I haven't managed more than a brief shower since I got it...
I know from readin other threads that some have had issues in this dept but, when it's £370 for the pair delivered, as opposed to BMW prices, I took a chance...
quailty wise it's excellent with nice neat seams and lots of well thought out touches, full AND part zip together, water proof zips, removable pannels, lots of straps to tighten the jacket when all the linings are out etc etc...
the one thing that was crap is the std back protector..deffo go for the upgrade to a Knox one for £10 as (as someone said on here) the std one wouldn't protect you from a heavy rain shower...
In my opinion, a viable alternative to a BMW suit....

Then answer is loads and probably everyone of us will have a different idea.

If you want to spend a similar amount of money, then the Areostich suits seem very popular, Rev It do a couple of nice suits, then a bit cheaper you have the Akito Desert I have one of them and can recommend it, I think they do it in a sand colour, I personaly went for the black and gunmetal (sounds better than dark grey) But as I say I am sure you will get loads of different ideas.

Have you tried Crayon's.

If you go with the wax type you'll get to proof your twat suit at the same time... jobs a good'un

Revit looking good...

and hang on they do it in yellow and grey and white trousers ok I have learnt my lesson will go for grey/black this time

 

[Flashman2001]

I really like the design of the twat suit - but why oh why oh why can't they just do it in a nice plain black - rather than just pandering to the present designs for the gay riding community

The black rallye 2 pro suit would be a great alternative to your red rallye 2 suit!
