oversuit question.

[taylors]

looking for a good oversuit, breathable, possibly armoured or with protection of some sort, preferably reasonably warm, so that i can zip the thing over my work clothes (suit shirt & tie) for my commute.

any recommendations or help welcomed.

thanks

Now, that would go well with a pipe and a pair of slippers.

Have had an Aerostich 1 piece Roadcrafter for 7 years....good kit...only available by mailorder from USA, but that shouldn't be a problem. V easy to get in/out of over workclothes.....

I can recommend the Frank Thomas one piece suit, I think it was about £200. It has been a great piece of kit worn for 50 000 miles of commuting in the last two years and still looking like new.
It has a zip out thermal liner and is a flattering fit, a little tight to not crease the suit, but normal clothing can be worn underneath, and it has some armour in elbows,etc.

I use the Aerostich Roadcrafter and it's excellent. Expensive but should be cheaper now the rate is $1.90 to the £.

Oversuit Question

Have a look at Fieldsheer Highlander 1 Piece.

Bought one in December to do the same job as you want to, go to work with shirt & trousers under the suit rather than in a rucksack.

Its warm ,waterproof, windproof but breathable, and best of the lot .....£199.00 .

Overall very pleased with quality bit of kit that doesn't cost the earth.

Whilst I'm sure Aerostich stuff is good, the extra £500 or so buys you other goodies.

Never said I was any good at this !

 

[samsgs]

also try

alpinestar who are doing something similar (according to MCN should be in the shops soon) and triumph who used to do the chervon or something oversuit.

Finally I think Gailli (sp?) do a version as well

The link is in-op !!
But in any event I'd recommend Aerostitch Roadcrafter, I've just got the current Mrs Podger one, mine is 6 years old and still in first class condition.

Reckon it should be this. Looks OK but not as good as the gimp suit.
