Been searching on here with no avail so i'll post my query.

I'm after some new budget textiles for Winter and found this on Ebay:

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SPADA-SYSTEM-OVER-SUIT-MOTORCYCLE-1-PIECE-OVERSUIT-L_W0QQitemZ400139350023QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=1def07ab12a0a0aad5471ea7fff645db

Anyone on here heard of it or tried it?

I don't own any Spada, but they're a reputable brand AFAIK.
Worth a try if you can't find anything else suitable - even Hein Gericke might be worth a browse if you have a shop near you??

The best waterproof one piece suit I ever bought was from Lidls @ 16 quid, they are easy to put on over full gear at the side of the road, are 100% waterproof and as good as anything at ten times the price. I have since bought another 3 identical suits as they are a total bargain and top quality.

Not tried that suit in particular but my winter gloves are spada and they are very good, handed down from my dad after maybe 5 years daily use and I've used them through the whole of last autumn and winter, still keeping all but the very worst rain out Thumbs Up They were fully water proof through everything when they were new so I would hope the suit would be to a similar quality.

If you do get it please update this thread, could do with something similar for the winter, froze my nuts off last year in my 2 piece even if they do zip together.

I've got 2 Lidl oversuits for the leathers. Was thinking of wearing one over my current textiles but it'll be awkward getting to the pockets.

Going by my Spada Force 2 gloves i've had for over 3 years, i'm tempted to get this suit.

Looks to have all the knee / elbow etc armour, so should be decent i reckon, wouldn't mind getting ur opinion of them if you do end up getting them, as they'd be really handy to throw on over my work gear for commuting !! Thumbs Up Karma

G's was an aerostich roadcrafter, iirc.

Epically expensive, but the reviews reckon they're worth the cash.

One thing putting me off is that it appears to not be breathable.
