For over the leathers in the wet. Decent enough suit or is there a better one in your experience?

Cheers.

I got the celtic ones and they did the job in the rain. It's a one piece so it's surprisingly warm and draught free. It also has a lined collar. Well worth it if you only have a 2 piece leather suit and no goretex.

do these leather suits let air in and out... or do they have the sauna effect and you just start sweating ??... as temperatures a tad higher when the cloud cover is about..

Not bad for £40. Thumbs Up

I have some standard out doors type rain gear in two pieces, its no massive inconvenience to put on two bits seperately, they also were less than half the cost.. dont get me wrong a one piece is probably better (will compact smaller e.t.c.) but the two bits work perficly as well. Just make sure to get a size way over what you'd have usually, check in the shop it'll go over your gear with minimal fuss.

There might be about two days in the UK when you'll be a bit too warm if you stop moving.

I also have one of the Celtic suits suits as well. They are brilliant so far it has kept the all water out and its quite comfy to wear.

I have mainly used it when I have been aboard so once the rain has stopped and become its become warmer again. I have had pull over and take the rain overcoat off it gets too warm.

I'd highly recommend it. Thumbs Up
