Lightweight, waterproof suit...whats out there?

[Nasty1]

Hi

I am looking for a new bike suit to fill the requirements listed below, any recommendations from you Tossers?

1/ Lightweight but waterproof, it could be a suit designed as an over suit as I am not particularly fussed about built in warmth as I would like to layer up under the jacket rather than have all the bulk of thermal linings etc.

2/ Pack down reasonably small for packing

3/ Reasonably priced.

4/ Short leg option

5/ Not a Twat suit.

6/ Road style biased.

The only thing I have seen that sort off ticks some boxes is the REV IT "Ozon" jacket and matching "Fuse" trousers. Trouble is there appears to be poor dealer network (can't find one in Hampshire) and I really want to try this new suit on before buying. How does the cheaper end of the REV IT range stand for waterproofness... any experience out there?

So what else is out there?

Cheers

Adie

Why not wear your summer stuff with a waterproof all-in-one? Infinity are doing all-in-one oversuits for a tenner.....

I could just wear a bin liner over me summer stuff, would probably sweat just as much as in a £10 over suit. Not really an option I am afraid, but thank you.

BykeBitz at Yately in Hampshire are a Rev'it dealer and usualy have a large range in stock.
For a one piece suit I use an Alpinstarsone . Can;t remember its name but it packs down into a bumbag. It is 99% waterproof-far better than any twat suit type of clothing. I use mine as the first choice of waterproof clothing.
