Default Radicalspeed Rainsuit - good or ridiculous?

Hi guys,

I have recently been looking at rainproof oversuits as I'm now commuting most days on my bike and lets face it, it's been wet. My textiles are good and keep me mostly dry but they take ages to dry out.

I've seen various offerings from places on the net and the 'Alpinestars El Nino' seems to get good reviews, and then then I stumbled across this...

(crosses fingers and hopes link works!)

These rainsuits are about £115 so not exactly cheap, and they are made essentially for the track. However, they should be 100% waterproof (apart from the knee-slider holes) being made of rubber, and offer an alternative to bulky oversuits. I have been wearing my textiles because I don't like my leathers getting wet but I never feel comfortable 'pressing on' in my textiles in case of an off so I ideally want to wear my leathers without fear of getting soaked to the bone.

So, ridiculous or worth considering for wearing over leathers in the summer? Opinions please!

Cheers,
Matt
