ATGATT - Layers or "All-in-one"?.

must be an interesting maneuver when you get the run and you are in a small washroom
 
I have four leather jackets (one at my son's in Maryland) three First Gear safari style (one being mesh), one other textile that my son bought at a Sebana Seca bike show (can't recall the name brand) and one additional very lightweight mesh jacket that folds up very small for easy stowage. I rarely wear the mesh jackets and that being only on very hot days.

For cross country touring I have found that the waterproof First Gear jackets, or other brands, give me the best all around protection, of course depending on the time of year. If I were to ride cross country in august I'd wear mesh with the zip out waterproof lining. I carry only rain pants which is Army issue snivel gear. They work great.

I wear leather only for local, early spring riding.

LOL! I've never had the runs and wearing the suit so I wouldn't know.

But to have the suit on and do a number 2 it's not as bad as you think.
 
The Aeorostitch Roadcrafter suit was always the one to wear for the serious winter riders but at about a grand I used to only see them on those riding Beemers. Back when I was stationed at the Pentagon I used to see a Navy Captain (pilot) wearing one while riding his pristine Airhead, all through winter. I chatted with him once as he was pulling it off and he showed it to me. It was top drawer quality and under it he only wore his winter cotton uniform.

First Gear just came out with one for about $200 and it looks pretty darn good.
 
Powerful endorsement.

Thank you.

I used to ride my motorcycle to the Pentagon, as you well know it took high rank and/or an act of Congress to get a parking pass there, and for the motorcycle they handed out the stickers like free candy.
