With all the rain we're having, my 5 year old gear is letting me down a lot.

Had a google and came across this:

Now thats a smart way to get the gear on. I got a Lidl onesy and its great but a pain in the bollow to put on in comparison to this yoke.

Genius.

Would find my trusty old set of Frogg Toggs quicker to get on than these, also fold down a lot smaller and are a lot cheaper, went through the deluge from hell last Thursday and was bone dry after taking them off.

No joke. If it were guaranteed waterproof for 5yrs, it'd be worth it and if I was commuting again I'd invest. But wow that's expensive.

They are very good, rode from Oslo thru' Denmark and onto Hamburg in the worst rain they had ever experienced last year, felt like a continuous bucket of water was been poured on me at 120kph, my Goretex boots and gloves eventually gave in after a few hours but the Frogg Toggs held out the whole way and my feet and hands were the only things wet when I got to the hotel in Hamburg, they easily slip over the leathers as well and fit under the seat.

200 quid is a bit steep for something like that,although its a great idea,i have the lidl one and as much as its a pain to put on it does the job great,so 200 versus 20 for something that you could rip walking in your garden gate i think lidl wins
