that's everything. also worth knowing, at the moment they have waterproof spray for leather and textiles for £1.99. i bought some, not used it yet though so dont know how good it is.




i have a few questions too - any one have the jacket, is it any good?
the rain oversuit - how can i work out what size i need, in most clothes im small or medium. but that goes over bike gear - should i get a large or just go for the XL cos i want it for over my leathers?



just a heads up again.
Calum.

I have the rain suit and it's fantastic. Never let a drop in and it's somewhat comfortable.

It's like a pair of chest high trousers with a jacket on the outside merged into one. No water can get in the zip and dampen the crotch at all.

If you're a medium (42UK or 52EUR) in Leathers, a Large should do you. Try one on.

[skeppy]

LMAO i noticed this today.. looked on the advertisement outside the shop. yeah i might get a few of them things good prices.

Would recommend it.

Tank bag, kidney belt and battery charger are great. Wouldn't waste the money on the cheap intercom though.

[chris-red]

The trousers are awesome. I wish I had know this was coming round I just bought a new pair of textile bike trousers after my old lidl ones got tired. I had them 3 years and the only problem was the lining was ripped in them they where still waterproof after 3 years heavy use.

Gloves, socks and battery charger that I got last year are well used and still going strong. Good bits of kit.

Some of the other stuff seems a bit overpriced though, or not really very good quality.

Like the helmet I picked up to look at and the visor was almost hanging off. The thing felt like a cheap toy, wouldn't stick my head in it. Plenty of better £40/£50 lids around.

Bit unsure about the intercom... i know the rider to pillion ones are a pile of shit, but the bike to bike one could be interesting... i think i'll wait for someone else to buy one first and tell me what its like

Thanks for the heads up

Probably get the trousers and boots, maybe a spare pair of gloves.

Anyone tried the boots or trousers?

Anyone bought the cover? I'm mainly wondering whether it will fit my zxr750. I mean really fit, like cover it completely and not leave the arse end exposed like some covers do.


Btw i've had the tank bag for about 3 years now and it's still in vgc and works great, i can't recommend it highly enough.

As said, some things are getting expensive now. When they first started doing bike gear things were dirt cheap. The tank bag used to be £9.99 and the disc locks were about £3.

I have:

Tank bag - 1 year - still in excellent condition and a bargain in my opinion.

Socks - 2 years - fairly worn now and will be getting a couple more pairs.

Thermals - 2 years - well worn, but good value will be getting some more.

Rider/Passenger Intercom - the controversial one! I bought one of these last time round for £6 I think and used it for the first time with the missus a couple of weekends ago. It's not amazing, but for the cash it let her chunter on to me for the hour or so ride in each direction and was perfectly audible at speeds up to about 85. Was also comfy enough, simply put the wires down the fronts of our jackets and clipped the box to my pocket. Personally for something that will only get occasional use I think it's great value!
