Motorcycle Raincoat: A Practical Guide

In case of rain, it is important to be well equipped! Any biker looking for a minimum of comfort should choose their rain protection gear. A wide selection is available to us on the market.

What are the types of motorcycle suits? How to choose it?

Full raincoat: perfect motorcycle gear

The full suit is the perfect outfit to take advantage ofgood sealing when riding a motorcycle... Be careful, you must choose it well. It is necessary to conduct fittings when equipped (motorcycle jackets, trousers, shoes and protection). You need to feel comfortable. You risk getting caught if the equipment is too large. Avoid wetsuits that are too small to tear.

To select a wetsuit, all you have to do is test its waterproofness. Water should not get on your clothes. Ideally, elasticated sleeves and bottom of trousers... This is to prevent water seepage. Water should not go anywhere! Check your wrists, ankles, and neck well. Also make sure that water cannot pass up the back above the neck. Penetrating drops are very unpleasant.

I advise you to go to the store if you have never bought a motorcycle suit. This investment should be considered because it is added to other equipment. It does not replace a motorcycle jacket or trousers. The first price of full suits is 20 euros. High-quality products cost about 120 euros.

Two-piece rain suit

This choice is suitable for everyday use. If you live in a rainy region, this is a good compromise. However, a jacket and trousers are less waterproof than a full suit. They have the advantage of being easy to put on.

Choose your combination according to your frequency of use. Some models are suitable for easily transported in bags (a bit like camping sleeping bags). You have to pay special attention to making the jacket fit your waist. Do not let water get to the bottom of the bottom. Some models have problems with sealing pockets. So don't forget to check to see if the pockets are covering the scratches.

As for the price, the prices for a jacket and trousers are about the same. It costs around € 30 for low-cost models and € 120 for more expensive models. Remember to multiply this price by 2 to get an idea of ​​the price of all equipment.

Zoom in on the motorcycle raincoat materials.

Pants and jacket can be lined. In winter, this can be a comfort advantage. Be careful, this lining can be annoying in summer if it is very hot in your area. It is very unpleasant to sweat while walking. Therefore, it may be interesting to provide one equipment for the summer and the other for the winter. It's all about budget, beware of doubled models as the price goes up.

The suits are made of synthetic fibers (ideal materials for a secure seal). Please note that not all synthetic materials are created equal and tend to be the reason for the price difference between the two equipment. Nylon is cheaper because it is very sensitive to tears. Prices for other materials such as PVC tend to rise. 

Attention : Exhaust is the worst enemy of synthetic fiber pants. These materials melt on contact with a hot pan. 

The combination colors are plentiful. In stores, we most often find bright colors and black. From a safety point of view, I advise you to choose a bright color. Remember that you will be wearing this gear in the rain, so it is important to be visible!

Board : Dry the jacket well before storing it in the closet. It is also recommended to re-waterproof this equipment once a year.

In this article, you learned about two of the most commonly used combination types. A full rain suit is undeniably waterproof, but very bulky and impractical to wear. Some bikers will even say that it looks like a frog costume. A two-piece suit is more interesting, bikers who want to wear stylish and practical equipment will find a place in it.
