It absolutely hosed it down this morning. My Rukka gear laughed and said "Is that all you've got! I am impervious in watery ingress and will not soil my rider with ugly damp patches..."

Massively expensive, massively worth it.

Whats wrong with a nice pair of Farrahs?

I've got a Rukka jacket, but found the strides to be a bit baggy.

Instead, i bought some IXS goretex/cordura/thermal removable linings/waterproof/windproof(!) etc etc.

'does the same job for about half the price ( about £150 from one of the shows, from memory) and they are a good fit.

Somehow, with a 42 inch waist and a 31 inch inside leg, I don't think YMFB will have thesame problem

Also, RACER products, which can be washed, they're waterproof and have all sizes and different leg lengths, go onto www.racer.at for your nearest stockist. the type in question are called Adventure Trousers..

very comfy

Belstaff Trialmaster, thats what you need.

None of your fancy 'Cordura' or 'Goretex'. Good old fashioned waxed cotton with a fur collar. Lovely. And wrap yourself in brown paper when it gets really cold. Now where did I put my pipe?

Yeah, and you can use a reflective belt to hold the brown paper in place. Personally, I find newspaper better than brown paper, but don't be tempted to cut costs. Use proper fresh newspaper. I once thought I would save money by using discarded chip wrappers but I had problems being followed around by a flock of cats all day.
