raingear

[fazerboy01]

I'm a delivery rider for a motor factors and in the last 5 years have worn Spada Gortex Jacket and trousers that were billed Waterpoof, they were for a couple of days. I've also had 2 different sets of RST "Waterproof" Goretex Jacket and trousers, again, waterproof for a short period. allways the inner elbow, shin and crutch go first. I emailed RST praising them on the comfort of there gear BUT asking about waterproofing. The reply was that I had to re-waterproof the garments but they neither sold or recomended a product. I've bought a Spada one-piece over-suit, that so far has kept me dry as long as I seal the velcro properly!! On top of this, at work we started selling a waterproofing aerosol intended for soft top cars, Ive started using this too, it's called Fabsil.
Gloves, I wear Spada Elites in the winter/colder months and handlebar muffs, so no issues except for water running down my arm or when I'm on my own bike.
Boots, All Claimed Waterproof, I tried Weise, RST, Spada and Dealer Boots liberally applied with dubbin to the seams, stitching and elasticated sides, the dealer boots so far win and I'm on my 3rd pair because I wore them out lol
Another product I tried with mixed results was NikWax spray on waterproofer, not tried it again.
Under is some ebay links, hope they help;
