One year and still going
By Chris "Bean" Wirth from Aurora, Mo on 12/24/2007
Pros:
Breathable, Good Fit
Cons:
Bulky
Best Uses:
Bad Weather, Cold weather, Wet weather
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have been using this product for two seasons now, I have only one complaint, that there is only a 90 factory warrenty on the item, I have ridden in weather as low as 15 degrees, and the only thing that gets cold, is my exposed neck, going to get a balaclava for that, other than that, bulky, somewhat big for my size, but all in all a perfect outfit, if you still like to ride in the cold, rain, or inclement weather..

 
Great suit....
By RickVerified Reviewer from Northeast GA. on 10/17/2007
Pros:
Abrasion Resistant, Breathable, Good Padding, Lightweight
Cons:
Bulky
Best Uses:
Bad Weather, Cruising
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love this suit...except that it is cut a little long in length. I have so far rode in a driving rain at 45 degrees and was totally dry and warm with just a T-shirt and jeans. Plenty of dry storage...the only other con would be that the wrist cuffs are large and could fit tighter.

 
I gotta lose some weight
By SkizickVerified Reviewer from Fiddletown CA on 10/15/2007
Best Uses:
Bad Weather
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I like the quality and design but I wish they made a Husky size for the given length. My suit is great for my height, but the side straps won't reach their velcro moorings. I'm going to try and loose some weight but I think these suits are made with a skinny dude in mind...

 
I am very pleased I bought this product
By Finally warm BikerVerified Reviewer from Southern Maine on 10/1/2007
Pros:
Breathable, Good Fit, Good Padding, Lightweight, Looks good good colors
Best Uses:
Bad Weather, Cold weather, Cruising
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this for cold fall weather. It is great. The size is a little tight around the waste and the legs are a little long but everything else is a good fit. That is not enough to bother. It is nice to have warm legs on a cold fall night. Now I need a good warm pair of gloves.

 
Excellent Suit!
By JDM from Saratoga Springs, NY on 9/20/2007
Pros:
Good Fit, Lightweight
Cons:
Bulky
Best Uses:
Bad Weather
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've owned mine for about 6 years now and have ridden in downpours and well below freezing weather and have been comfortable and dry every mile. It is a little bulky but for the insulation factor, I wouldn't want anything else!

Pros:
Breathable, Good Fit, Lightweight
Cons:
Bulky

ordered a size larger than i normally wear, which made the legs a bit too long.the bulkiness makes it hard to stow if you take it off on the road,but its worth having!could use more velcro at waist for us heftier riders

Nice oversuit
By Roadrumbler from Sugar Land, Tx on 1/22/2007
Pros:
Breathable
Cons:
Bulky
Best Uses:
Riding

Wanted a warm oversuit to wear over my work clothing during the winter months. So far it's been warm with wind chill in low 20's.
Slips on easily. Nice when it's in the 30's but too warm for me once it gets mid 40's.

nice suit
By fatboy from sacramento, ca. on 11/21/2006
Pros:
Breathable, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Riding

The suit is made for the upper end off the size your requesting, See I'm short and fat so it fits well in the upper body, the length was very long for me but after alterations very comfortable a bit warm for the valley but nice in the hills.

Staying warm and dry...
By 599Verified Purchaser from Vancouver, WA on 10/25/2006
Pros:
Breathable, Good Fit, Lightweight, Stylish
Cons:
Somewhat hard to put on
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Perfect Gift, Riding

Have used the suit for close to a month now. I ride 30 miles each way to and from work in the Portland, Oregon area, so I do have my share of rain. So far I have stayed both warm and dry with just a T-shirt and jeans underneath. At 37'F I was impressed with how comfortable I stayed, although I think it was getting close to the suits limit. Anything colder I will have to add additional clothing. On the negative side, the ankle area is somewhat difficult to close the way you would want it, but with a little practice.....

Fuctional not fashionable
By DivnbrianVerified Purchaser from Reno, NV on 9/7/2006
Pros:
Warm and dry
Cons:
Bulky
Best Uses:
Cold wet conditions

I have had this suit for at least 8 years now. It has got me home through snow storms and 20 degree weather. I keep it rolled up in my saddle bag for use in wet or cold conditions. It kept me comfortable on my Harley(no windshield!) And even better now on my BMW. You will not win any fashion awards wearing this suit, but when your cold and wet, looking "pretty" does not matter! It rolls up into a 6-8" roll about 14-16" long. That may sound like alot of space, but consider how much space you would need for cold weather gear and rain gear. Order one size larger than what you normally wear. You can adjust your warmth by adding or removing clothes that way. BE careful around your pipes! I melted the outer shell on my right leg. For the price, I doubt if you could get a better suit.
