Anyone tried these? Looking to get a suit for my bike lessons next week as it’s meant to rain the whole week and if I’m out and about once I pass, seems to pack down VERY small compared to other options hence me interested but no reviews or things online.

Personally, no, since my gear is all waterproof: so no help there.

Make sure you've got waterproof boots and gloves, mind, because even the crotch leak I had for like a quarter of a mile when a pair of trousers randomly gave up felt rancid; and effected concentration.

I'd say, since you'll be on the bike for several hours, get some cheap gear that's WP and has a thermal layer in (removal-able or non-irremovable wouldn't really matter for your cause since its just to get you started, and is cold anyway).

Bought one of these: https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/70235 (also available with yellow bits).

It's waterproof. It's got an integral bag thing that you can roll it up into.

Don't get an oversuit that's in any way tight or it will be a PITA and won't last long! You want them quite flappy.

Edit: No reviews on SBS re the tucanto.

I prefer two-piece. I recently bought a black Oxford Rainseal over-jacket which I've been pleased with. It doesn't pack down quite as small as the thinner, cheaper walker's kagools I've used in the past but they did the job too. The Oxford is warmer and a better fit but still not too pricey. If your bike jacket is a large you need the large in Oxford sizing and it'll fit over the top.
