waterproofs

for foul weather riding, what is better or more practical, a one piece or two piece waterproof oversuit.

Two piece.

I made the mistake of getting a one piece and it's like wrestling with Big Daddy trying to get it on & off. Plus it's supposed to fold back into it's inside pocket to use as a carrying pouch..............forget it

I've lost count of how many one piece waterproofs I've had over the years & as Kendo says it's no fun trying to get into them in the pouring rain on the roadside - what I'd like to know is do bike waterproofs really exist? Without exception, every one of mine has leaked in the crotch area - must be due to the puddle that accumulates there every time it rains .. The best I ever had was on old waxed Belstaff jacket - never leaked at the seams .. They might be the way to go if the pants are just as good?

Looking for waterproofs for the winter - look at these Barbour waterproof bike trousers - ex military - £20.00 - got to be good value!

Two piece.

The trouser always tend to leak long before the jacket, or just get burnt torn, then, just replace the trousers.

Littleredroadster the barbours are out of stock.

I have a Furygan one piece .It is excellent. Have ridden in non stop torrential rain all day long (not on the Harley ) and ,apart from having to stop every so often to wring my gloves out ,I arrived perfectly dry.
It is a b@stard to get on and off though.
