New Jacket.

[bruce aussie]

I rode in driving torrential rain for about 4 1/2 hours in total on Saturday and stayed completely dry.
Motodry Street pants; the warmest and driest bike pants I've ever owned. Cost $160. These are really good.
Five WFX Tech gloves. Warmest and only 100% waterproof gloves I've ever owned. $150 but worth every cent.
R Jays boots. Warm and waterproof. Cost about $160.
I did wear my leather jacket but with a rain jacket over the top.
Only place water got in was through my helmet - trickled down the inside of the visor and through the (closed) vents.

Dri Rider makes some excellent gear - we carry a fair bit of it at Joes - but I'd also give a good look at some of the new RST and Motodry jackets and pants. They seem to offer more for your money and I'm very impressed with the stuff I've tried.

Have been looking at Matador pants. Would have a pair except for them only being available mailorder now. Just not keen to spend $130.00 on something I havn't tried on. B ike shop at Moorooka used to stock them but not anymore only has there sunglasses now.
