Its time for new rain suits.  We're looking at FrogTogs, and Fieldsheer.  Does anyone here have this Fieldsheer Sugo Max one-piece rainsuit?  I'm wondering about quality, and also if these things are sized like jackets and coveralls - ie large enough to fit over jeans and shirts etc.  Or do we need to add one size up for fittng over?  Thanks.

i like that mike.....better looking than most...but then most of us don't look that ruddy good...b^stards got no belly...phifff! - - if they bag too much at the trousers they get fried by the exhaust ...like mine on the way back from germany...lol - full suits need great long zips for stepping into when damp!!..which could be a waterproof problem...have you heard that goretex have invented the rain proof zip....i kid you not...seen it ...should be on sale in the form of new kit any day now

I'll look for it!

found it - link below...

Thanks Doc!   Sweet.  Maybe I need to wait awhile for these, if I can:

"MCN last week trialled Gore-Tex’s new Lockout closure, an all-new completely waterproof zip closure that Rukka has confirmed to be applying to three new suits in 2010 and Alpinestars (see right), Rev’it and Hein Gericke have also committed to using,

The new closure is a self lubricating, toothless construction that opens and closes silently and delivers 100% waterproof protection. Like a traditional zipper, the metal slider moves up the garment to close. But the difference is that it smoothly interlocks the two double channelled polymer tracks to create a flat-fronted finish that changes the look of a garment, and removes the need for a storm flap."

now with goretex binding inside leathers and this zip we could actually have fully waterproof jackets and strides...how great would that be...i'm with you lets see what next years season stuff brings...should be interesting
