Rain Gear

[essjay]

Looking for something to keep in the panniers for when it starts pissing down. Throw it on over the bike gear I'll be wearing.

Any particular rain suit (1 or 2 piece) come recommended? Don't need any armour etc, just something to stop the rain and easy to put on without having to take my boots off....

Its all pretty much the same, IMO, once you buy a good brand. I have a HG one piece that cost abuot £25 a few years ago and its perfect when needed, but be sure to buy at least one size above 'your' size, as it needs to fit over normal portective gear. The nearest that HG have now appears to be this

Some of the German sites have good gear.....these guys http://www.louis.de/_20847a1baa347bf19c75f548deea328466/index.php?topic=wgr&grwgr=140

But you can get even cheaper! ...... https://www.polo-motorrad.de/de_sm/monsun-regenkombi.html

May 09 Ride mag gave their "recommended" award to the Alpinestars El Nino but it's expensive at £80 (then)

Third place went to the BLH Light at less than £30.00

Has anyone of you use that BLH Light???
Is the same as Bering Eco ???
ICan be folded back to a small bag?? I would like to have a rain gear that can be fold into a small back and takes its position inside my rucksack when I don't need it.

Try Maddocks (yes, i'm serious ) for a one piece 'Baleno' oversuit.
made of 'Flexothane' it's like a big stretchy condom .
it works.
