JDC Motorcycle Waterproof Rain Suit Over Suit 1PC (3 Leg Length Options) - SHIELD

Purchased as I saw it on MCN.Good VFM especially if purchased for use on the odd occasion as in my case.For me it is a little "comfy" in the crotch so maybe could do with a size up but then the upper would have been to large and flappy.Also found the legs rise up when on the bike to expose clothing if not wearing bigger boots, so recommend you go a few inches longer than your leg size despite the info saying that is accounted for.If you need to ride in bad weather for longish distances all the time then get something breathable as this suit is boil in the bag.

Most bikers know that a lot of textile waterproof gear is, well... not very waterproof. My 2 piece set looks great, has good protection etc. but after 10 minutes in moderate rain stitches start seeping water through. I do commute 60 miles a day on a bike and got caught in some heavy storms over the years. I am sure many of you know that feeling when water runs down the tank directly on your crotch and it starts feeling a bit cold at first before getting worse and spreading all over your bottom. For that reason I always kept a spare pair of underwear in my backpack so I can go about my day with a dry bum. Happy to say that since I got this rain suit I do not have to carry it any more.Waterproofing of this suit works a treat. All the seams are taped and the front zip has a Velcro flap. Used it in very heavy rain few times already and each time got to my destination bone dry. Not even a tiny bit of water got through. The downside is that the fabric it is not very breathable so you can get hot easily if you have too many layers of clothing underneath. Will not be a problem in the winter but in the summer you can get a bit sweaty.There are two pockets, one on the outside of right leg and one inside chest level. It has an integrated belt and Velcro cuffs on both arms and legs so you can adjust the fit. Getting in with gear on is fairly easy and quick but getting out is not. Make sure you do a few practice runs before you take it out otherwise you risk being featured in one of the "fails" videos on You Tube. The tricky part is getting the first arm out then it is all easy. What works for me is to put arms behind my back and try to take the left one out first with the right hand.Make sure you get the right size which normally means one size up from your normal. I am 178 cm /5ft 10in , 42in waist and 72kg - got the Large and it fits perfectly with gear on. Not too tight not too loose so it does not flap about or inflate at speed. It is not the smallest when folded and weighs a fair bit - 1.15 kg (according to my kitchen scale). I still carry it every day in my backpack no problem.I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this suit to any biker wishing to stay dry.I hope you found this review informative and helpful. Thanks for reading.

These waterproofs are great for the money. They fit over my leathers easily although there is a knack to getting in to them. My leathers have elbow and shoulder armour built in so I have limited movement when putting the waterproofs on. After the first arm is in the sleeve I have to pull my other arm inside the body of the waterproofs, pull the waterproofs over my remaining shoulder and then work my arm into the sleeve. It's a bit of a palaver but once I'm in there's plenty of room to move and they are really comfortable. Just a bit more give in the zip would have helped. They come off easily. As waterproofs they seem to work great. I've had no leaks. The fabric is surprisingly robust too. I also got the same size as my leathers (I didn't go up a size) and they're plenty big enough once on. Well worth the money.

A caveat before we start, I ride behind a big fairing, so the worst of the driving rain misses me.The suit, the size was right ( ordered a size larger) and the transverse zip makes it easy to get on.I'm not sure about the quality or reliabilty of the zip though , I would have liked to see a much heftier zip ( Ideally YKK) with solid teeth , rather than the wire wound teeth this uses.The velcro closer is good, and the thight pocket is a nice touch.I didn't like the cheap, tacky and poorly printed ( I was a printer for 25 yrs) logo , especially on the rear, I normally charge if I'm advertising a product, I don't expect to pay for an advert.The suit is easy ( as easy as these things ever are) to get on, even over your boots.Getting it off is another matter, if you are limber enough you might be able to bed, hold the end of the leg and pull them off, but if so you are much more limber than me and it's too late for me to start on yoga.It's made of PVC with taped seams , and I found it water proof, but you may end up with boil in the bag biker syndrome.Yes I would buy another, the only reason I would need to is if the zip gave out.

I work as an motorbike instructor and some days it can be very wet.It's not 100% but will keep most of the rain out for a full day

This one went through the testing in the rainy Irish weather and unfortunately, after a couple of rides clearly demonstrated the low quality of the materials used as the buckle fell apart and overflow the internal lining stitches are falling apart too.

Easy to put on over clothes can order your normal size as allows the extra space for clothes underneath. Keeps the wind and rain out therefore stay warmer and dry on those rainy windy days all in all I'd definitely recommend if you want value for your money and something that actually does what it says.
