I have been looking at the one piece oversuits as an alternative to buying another set "Normal" Winter Jacket and trousers. ??

Has any one used the one that are ment to be worn over normal clothes (Dianese drystar 360). ??

The one piece waterproofs do they just keep out the rain or do they add to warmth, Do they end up wet on the inside ??

Still gathering info

Thanks in advance:054:

Does a 1 piece waterproof suit keep you dry? You would think it would but ive never heard of anyone who has used one that after a certain amount of time/rain hasnt had a small leek, for eg a few small cups of water. But it all depends on what you want to spend, ive heard a few people claim there BMW 1 piece suit (����) is nearly fully waterproof only letting in a bit of water after say 7-8hours in the rain. :sunny:

They are mainly designed to go over the top of normal bike riding gear like textiles or leathers so are slightly larger but most have adjustment straps here there and everywhere to try and stop big flappy bits forming. Ive heard of a few manufactors who do 1 piece riding gear where you where your normal cloths underneath but not just a 1 piece waterproof suit as they have no armour

Ching Ching next round
 

Well today I tried the following:

Still using mainly what I have around already.

One piece base layer, HG Bottoms, Workshirt, Heated Jacket liner, HG Jacket, Balaclava, Summer gloves, boots, Helmet. I was going to put my Winter Hivis waistcoat on only to find that the Zipper came out in my hand.:Christo_pull_hair:

Put the Muff's on the Bike, not:coolsmiley: .

Well My mate is not at work today so dont have Temperature Home and here.

But it was not too cold and only drizzling part of the way.

Result so far hands,feet, head, neck and trunk warm. Thighs still cold.

Found the Bike strange to ride, but when daylight came I could see that one of the Muffs was hanging down like a wind brake on the bar end, tucked it up and things returned to normal, I will make the WB mod and make a hole for the Mirrors, this will help hold them in place.:poke1:

What next??? Should I get a new Winter Hiviz Bodywarmer or get a full overjacket. Must do something about legs. I may try just over trousers first to see if that helps, should have some somewhere....:Pyshic_C5UYG8:

I wonder what Ray wears???

Here we go.

Before during and after the Muff werreee fitted.


OK The before is last/......

Took WB advise and put hoiles in the muffs and fitted in Mirror. The right hand morror has a left hand thread just for info....

The Mirrors would noit turn in the brackets so had to remove the whole mirrow, This meant I had to remove the SAcreen becasue the mirrors would not pass it.... One thing leads to another...

I did find the Headlight adjustrmet screw (Just below headlight Above the Mudguard) and can be adjusted without removing anything, Hoiw unusual.

I Have turned it up but will wait until I have not had any brown bottles before I go to the road and set it correctly in the dark. :sign17:
And with the lovly muffs fitted isint it lovly.:blob1::woo:

Nicee piccies, the muffs dont look that bad, but i dont think i could hack having to take my hand in and out of that hole all the time, as my commute is in and out of town then i would need my hand in and out of the muff to open the visor, clean it, play out etc etc

You find it makes no difference, you quickly get used to bringing the Hand Back before up, and down before in.

As my mammy says you get used to anything but Hanging. :googly[1]:

:rofl[1]: bit harsh but also a very true saying
