Wales weather gear
After yesterday's deluge and for days like that in the future I've decided to buy myself some waterproof kit! I normally just ride in mx top and trousers with a lightweight waterproof jacket if it's needed but it's a useless combination when it's raining like it was yesterday and has on past rides
The reason for me preferring mx gear is that I get too hot wearing enduro trousers and jackets and find them restrictive so I was wondering what gear people wear and how you find them?
I have found this set which look good but have no idea what they'd be like to wear

Re: Wales weather gear
I'll agree with the gloves they're shite! I thought the other stuff was of same quality which is why I've not considered it! Are they lightweight like mx gear or fairly heavyweight?mizzed wrote:Can't go wrong with the ktm hydrogen gear. The gloves suck tho

You wont beat the army gotrex stuff for value for money. I just wear a pair of tracksuit bottoms under them and the same on top.

I agree with Steve ,got army goretex overtrousers , £25 a pair but i absolutely love them , sealskin socks and i got one of those neckies from Aldi that keeps my chest area dry and warm , also bought neoprene gloves from cycling shop but not tried them yet. I agree Joe i hate the heavy restrictive gear , lightweight and flexible is best.

Anything Gortex always seems to work, but a good old fashioned jib the only 100% sure way of staying dry
