BMW Streetguard suit.
None of the faff of having to keep plugging in waterproof liners.
None of the outer jacket becoming waterlogged and super heavy.
Good ventilation and surprisingly cool in summer with lots of venting options. (Certainly for Europe anyways )
Easily removable armour.
Easily washable.
Very hardwearing.
As with all layering options - make sure the jacket has room for your fullest layering option and then the looseness in warmer weather will help with ventilation.
All of the benefits of BMW sizing and quality but with none of the uncoolness of looking like a LWR clone or loudly BMW branded acolyte.

Not on mine. Are you talking about just yours or do you have evidence of an inherent fault ?
Just because they were cheap doesn't mean to say they were a bargain

You're on it today Pal.
You'll be givin us Yorkshire folk a reputation for being grumpy and tight.
You can always tell a yorkshireman ........
But he wont fookin listen ...
Yes there is evidence that the zips, that were made post 2007 ALWAYS (well some of them some of the time) became faulty. Often if you had used a pressure washer around the zip flap.
They were made in the same factory as 1200 final drives . . . so there

SG2 or SG3?
I've had BMW suits for over twenty years, I've had their waterproof roll bags, their tank bags, rear bags and boots ... and it's always the feckin' zips that lets them down
I s'pose I'm therefor the common denominator
But I am not alone ...

That's about right
Maybe not tight though ... that's why we're wearing the Rukka gear
Both
My lad (Martyn) bought the latest SG3 with the new fangled zip ... it failed
As an aside, I bought the new BMW system 6 helmet, was assured they don't drop to bits these days ....
Oh yes they do...

SG2 has always been fine, except the colour fade
Rukka will be next choice, still got my 'winter' riding suit which is a Rukka Goretex and is still going strong after 20 years

I'm guessing that teh zipper on teh ROLL BAGS has yet to fail ?
If BMW kit is that bad I wonder why you stick with them
Personally I prefer my Barbour suit but I was recommending based on the sort of thing I thought the OP was looking for.
Whats it like in summer ???BMW Rallye Suit - ideal for a UK winter

Yes the zip in the BMW 'roll bag' (It's shaped like a roll) failed
The zips on my Streetguard failed
The zips on my Atlantis pants (two pairs) failed
The zips on the Atlantis pants even tearing holes in the seat of my XCountry
The zips on Sue's Atlantis pants tearing holes in her XCountry seat
"If BMW kit is that bad I wonder why you stick with them"
I haven't ... I've moved across to Rukka
The Wunderlich/Ortleib roll bag behaves impeccably cos it has no zips
As for BMW's two year warranty on clothing ... down to discretion I'm afraid. Sue's gloves would not be replaced because they were too tatty to do so.
OK she had done a six month trip across Asia in them, but they were only just over 12 months old. No limitations at to mileage or countries of use in the BMW 2 year warranty

Not to mention the shagged zip on the tent you sold me, so yep definately a common denominator in there somewhere.
(I still haven't fixed it yet)
I was being
Good in warm weather, but when it rains you need an oversuit...............because it's crap at keeping water OUT, even with the Goretex liners fitted
