I did a thread about this last year - I can't remember the make that was suggested though. Next time I need some and have the moolah I'll be digging that thread up...

I have a held one that doesn't leak a drip.

Very Very warm though so fine in winter, but a real pain in summer, and could do with some kind of grippy material on your arse

Got one from eGay to use on my tour, kept me very dry when the heavens opened and folds into a neat bum bag type thing. was only £28 or something, seems very well made for a generic brand too, Ill check out the brand later!

I have a Tech 7 one that has never leaked, my commute being about 1 hour each way, and sometimes done in rain for the whole journey. Thumbs Up

Have you tried a set yet? I bought some and found them difficult to get my arms in with leathers on. Mine only come out when I am jet washing my drive and patio. Much happier with my 2 piece.

I've always found two piece to be better, easier to get on and my gooch stays dry.

Shame to hear that about HG. I bought a set with a tribal pattern on them many years ago, possibly 6, and they were awesome. Kept me dry through real rain (Cumbrian rain, not those showers the southerners get lol) without any leaking around the 'gash'.

Shame to hear they have took a nosedive!

Awesome, doesn't let a drop of rain in.

Found this suit good, it's a 2 piece but doesn't ride up and doesn't let water in.

Loved it until Greenpeace pushed me off my bike and tried to roll me into a river.

I had a link from here or the bandit forum just the other day with a comprehensive test of waterproofs.Not sure which model won but it was Alpine Star and was listed as costing about £70 - £75.

I have a one piece suit made by Rukka.They have seen me through heavy rain that I would be suprised to see ducks out in.I got them from a friend who was throwing them away,but they have never let me down.

I also wear some overboots to help protect the race-rep boots.They were really good value,pack down into a pocket and very good value at about £12.I think that I got them from M&P but not 100%.HG now sell them for about £29.

Yep, 'tis the one.

The Spada 407 is the recommended suit I was on about. Ghostbikes have them for roughly £45 on the Bay...
