my commodore with climate control is my go to wet weather gear.

Wet weather visors.

 

 

 

I am a bit of a tight arse so decided to make a pair of waterproof jeans out of an old pair of jeans and a couple of tubes of silastic.
Needless to say it didn't go well.
The best I have used was quilted /padded oilskins. Heavy as fuck but warm as fuck.
I try to avoid riding in the rain these days cos I reckon its fucked riding in the rain.

Hey beags
Can you post up a pic of that home made pair of waterproof jeans with the couple of tubes of silastic?

Check the Pacemaker Motorbike jacket. Similar to the old Bellstaff jackets.

So far I've found the oilskin combo the best wet weather protection.

 

Yep, oilskin for me to. Waterproof and windproof.

I've found that in certain weather very little keeps you dry so a base layer that doesn't wick the water is key to at least keeping your core feeling dry..

I use a Schampa warm shirt for my upper body and some compression pants for my lower half.

Anyone tried the over gloves from Andy Straz? They are like a waterproof mitt that go over exisiting gloves. The theory makes sense ... Might try some Gore-Tex first.

Now how did I know you were gunna say that, Tim.

I've been wearing waxed cotton over pants by Nimmitabel leathers http://blackmax.com.au/product/query/oilskins. Into my second winter with these.
