I'm after a waterproof over jacket and trousers, something that I can quickly get on over my riding gear if the heavens really open...
As storage space on a Monster is non existence, I want a lightweight jacket and pants that fit in to the smallest of bags, which I can carry around with me permanantly... in a pocket or Oxford bum bag.

Any ideas ?

Two piece Alpinestars are excellent and pack up small!

Wait til Aldi have their stuff again. I paid 9.99 for the best set of windproof waterproofs ever. 3 years old and just as good as new!

I bought some of these before i went to the TT, they were a nightmare to get on and by the time i got them sorted, i was sweatin' so much, i couldn't get on me bike.
I think i might have been drier without them.
My mate got a green two piece from the local farmers suppliers, £15 and bone dry!!

I figured these would be convenient. I have Spada lightweight trousers which I keep in the bum pocket of a textile jacket, along with an excellent pair of Dainese over-gloves.

I've given up using bike waterproofs over leathers and bought a fabric jacket and supplemented this with the cheapest pair of lightweight trouser big enough to draw over my leather trousers I could find,these fit easily into a pocket.

No they're not! Woddy used to have some of these and they were very very scary indeed!

Note that it has a gusset. Yes, I said gusset. And that it goes well with high PVC boots... Cripes!

I still do! Only wore them once and they were such a pain to get on and off I gave up. That and the fact they would not have looked out of place with a gimp mask to go with them, so as a result they are languishing in the cupboard. High heel boots you say? Hmm.

I remember watching Gary Tomkins a couple of years ago turn a little napsack that he had on his back into a nifty pair of water proofs. Not sure how water proof they were but sure looked clever and impressed the folk watching him from inside the Pub. Me aswell as I didn't have anything.

However if you are shy you could always were something from this range under your leather's
