I keep a pair of Berghaus Deluge trousers under my seat, get the 'long' leg version for about £40... they're smashing

Can't advise on top half, I wear a gortex HG jacket.

Juts bought a BMW Motorad waterproof jacket on ebay for £27 new.

Looks like it will do the job over my fleece then leather jacket...I was impressed with the quality of the BMW freerider and this seems a bargain. I love doing a search and finding things on the bay ending soon and cheap.

Its got refelctive areas too which is cool

I carry a one-piece Hein Gericke waterproof oversuit if there's a chance I'll get caught in the rain

Of course that's only in summer when I'm in my leathers. During winter I wear my textiles which are waterproof anyway

Edit: Clicky!

I've been looking at Helly Hansen, link here

Can get jacket and trousers for around £60.

It always amazes me just how much protection my fairing provides against the rain.

I've been looking around for some myself & think these are the best option, All in one with a built in carrying pouch/strap, cost 50 quid.

But then I saw this Bright orange textile jacket so I'm going to get the jacket & some trousers as I'm going for visibility as the nights draw in & the mornings are pitch black.
Scroll down for jacket, It's the Orange one.

I have some Gortex pants and they leaked on the shins this morning...Not a lot but my Hood jeans shins were damp

Thought Gortex was meant to be 100% waterproof...

I have to say though on getting up this morning and looking at the rain I was going to go to work in the BMW: Didn't...I chose to go in the rain and quite liked the adventure of the ride into work. I felt alive lol

Can anyone identify with this feeling?

Spent £40 on a one peice suit (boiler suit pretty much) from hein gericke, wore over my 1 peice leathers, fit perfectly, never got wet, never let water through, blocked wind as well so it was nice in the colder months...

Could not rate more
