One piece waterproofs, really a 100%?

[rictus01]

it's a triumph speed four, the twin headlights are standard ( same as the speed triple).



Cheers Mark.

Thought it was. The double headlights are great

I have a one piece suit (from when I was thin) which was always 100% waterproof. I was riding a full faired bike then with a screen, but even so I rode in all weathers every day, when I stopped, scraped the snow off my chest and unzipped, I was completely dry. The problem comes when you take your helmet off and water runs down your neck, so if fuel station attendants get belligerent, you're better off actually robbing them or you'll be wet the rest of the way. Same with gloves, as soon as you pull it off to find your credit card the water gets inside.

Roll on NFC I say.

I will definatley buy a fatter one-piece now I'm biking again.

I can definitely recommend anything in Sioen "Flexothane".

I had a hi-vis suit made specifically for police bike use from here , the legs were shaped for sitting and cuffs/neck closed well. The fabric never let water in, it is breathable so you don't end up as a boil-in-the-bag biker, and it is stretchy so doesn't restrict you too much.

You can get one piece oversuits in Flexothane, probably as near 100% dry as you'll find. Not cheap but not stupid money for something which works.
Try work-wear stockists, here for example , cheapest off the 'bay of course.

Thank you for all your recommendations. I ended up buying a one piece black and bright yellow from hein gericke, as their shop in stockwell reopened and had 30% off everything.
