It's my birthday tomorrow so I'm in gift buying territory.....

....I'm intending to be properly hardcore this winter and get out greenlaning regardless of the weather and conditions.

To this end I want to get some decent winter enduro gear, stuff aI can wear when everything is frozen over. I'm looking for Jacket, Trousers, Socks, gloves and possibly a lid. My criteria are:

Jacket must fit over my motocross body armour (don't want integral armour).

Must fit over my knee braces (Don't want integral armour).

Must keep me warm.

Must keep me dry.

Jacket must have removable layer(s) for when it gets too hot.

Must come in freak sizes (I'm 6' 6")

Must look good (What can I say, I'm a ponce!) - Either black or black and orange I think.

Don't mind spending a few quid but don't want to feel like I'm having the piss taken out of me!

Any guidance much appreciated!

Only just seen this thread - so belated Happy Birthday!

A couple of us have the Sinisalo stuff - seems to do the job ok, but in a torrential downpour it's not 100%. TBH I'm not sure what is?

If you want to go very upmarket and spend a good few ££££ then the name to go for is Klim. It's supposedly the dog's and many of the semi-pro's use it, but I don't know anyone who has it to offer any first hand knowledge.

Klim stuff

Other than that Alpinestar do a good smock-style waterproof over jacket that is very good and about £35. It's ideal for when the temperature is still too high for full gear, but it can get a bit sweaty as not goretex/breathable.

As for sizing I have the opposite problem so absolutely no help for you at all!! Mr. Green
