  1. I am heading off to the Manx in August and although the Isle of Man has recently gone Mediterranean I feel I should take some insurance for wet weather.
    I will be wearing a two piece Dainese leather suit.
    I have worn a one piece over suit before, but they always seem to be too small, especially leg length ( I am 6’ 3” or 190 cms) and always leak due to poor zip seals at the front.

    Please share your wisdom and experience of better outcomes.

    Many thanks, Paul.
     
  2. I have a dainese 2pc waterproof set, works pretty well. (not a fan ove 1pc waterproofs)

  4. I use this, plenty of room in them for your leathers a great bit of kit, matching trousers can also be purchased.

  5. I always wear leathers on the bike but my last "motorbike" waterproof was a Frank Thomas Aquapak
    Since then I have alway used good quality jacket and trousers from outdoors stores on top of my leathers. Over the last 20+ years Craghoppers, Lowe Alpine, Mountain Equipment and Berghaus have been my choice. Easy to get on, plenty of pockets in the jackets and fold up small.

  6. I have a set of these as does my girlfriend. Bought them last year and they do work well.

    Prior to the Scott jkt and trs I had a set of Held Wet Tour which were also superb. In fact I'd rate them over the Scott. The Helds we're available at the time, more expensive too. They lasted about 5 years before leaking.
