Title: Rain (outer) suits... where?
Post by: cardzilla on August 23, 2005, 03:13:03 PM
I saw the thread on liners and it got me thinking about rain suits.  I had one back in the day and I loved it.  Basically, what I'm talking about is a cover of sorts that goes over your leathers to help keep them (and you) dry in a downpour.  They come with sliders and everything (usually).  I've been looking for a month and I haven't found one.  Anybody bought one recently, and if so where?
Thanks.

I just wear an old rainsuit used for street riding. When they spring a leak, I buy a new one and use the old one for racing.

This is the one I used, One piece Teknic, It's only 18 dollars. I did crash test it though and it does shred easy.. But what rain suit doesn't

Sweet, much thanks.  For 18 bucks, I'd consider them disposable after a crash.

You don't have rain leathers?

Yeah, I do, but why have ANY soggy leathers.  It is much easier to concentrate when you're dry and cozy.

I'm a Taichi 50-52, I'm curious what size rain suit to get also.  Small, I guess.
