New Waterproofs needed

Doc · Sep 17, 2022

Hello lads, I need a new pair of slip over waterproof trousers and jacket. Probably kept the ones I have to long.
Yes I should probably buy some all singing and dancing goretex stuff but not my thing.
Although I do have some Klim gloves at £250 quid ish and they are not waterproof.
So recommendations please.

Cheers Doc

Army Goretex stuff (or RAF blue) if you want cheap but excellent gear
Pants and jacket for £50 on eBay

I have a Richa waterproof jacket. It’s silver, reflective and very good. The down side was the fact it cost over £90.

Tried the pants and they were rubbish from the off. I don't mind paying for something decent.

Totally agree. The only truly waterproof gear I’ve ever owned. The only issue I have is with the camo pattern not being appropriate in poor visibility.

Had lots of different stuff over the years (including the army stuff) and the Scott Erg DP is simply the best set of waterproofs I have ever owned. Totally waterproof and breathable, really good ergonomics and a stretchy fabric which makes them really comfortable to wear.

Not cheap but then sometimes you get what you pay for!

These are the correct answers. Amazing stuff.

I've been happy with Richa jacket and Weise trousers.

Why not pop into a branch of Louis or Polo on your route to Cochem? The are located next door to each other at Offenberg near Baden Baden, but branches in many German cities

This.

Used extensively in my more enthusiastic off roading days, brilliant and cheap.

I put Held’s Rainblock jacket and Rainblock pants in the premier league, too. I prefer them over Scott because of the Rainblock’s nicer feel and fit.

I’ve found the Held Rainblock comfy, breathable and totally waterproof. It’s also stretchy and has a lovely soft-touch feel.

Another vote for Scott Ergo. I have a BMW Rainlock suit in my garage, that I bought in a dealer sale a few years ago, which is good, but nothing like the Scott.

I still use my Hein Gericke waterproof oversuit.

I have a BMW Motorad over waterproof jacket (light Grey) packs quite small. I`m a 42 and fits over normal motorcycle jackets. Only used a couple of times. Best Text (07831341217) £40 posted. Den

Chris. The Richa jacket is a rain flair, you can get matching trousers. Sorry about the delay, been out riding in the sunshine.
