Textile clothing

hey all

i’m, after some textile clothing for work, i ride all day long in all weather so i need some good quality textiles but i dont want to pay a fortune!

what sort of price i’m i looking at for a decent set?, jacket and trousers, they need to be as waterproof as poss and preferably breathable, offer decent protection and have some armour.

i know of a few makes and names but i wanna see what people have tried and tested and found good, also needs to be hard wearing as being out all day riding takes it toll on clothing!

I’ve got one of these textile suits:

It’s comfy enough, and certainly keeps the rain out. Lovely and warm in the winter, but I have found it to get a bit steamy in this humid weather.

You missed the Lidl spectacular!

Not sure if this link will work…

Unfortunately for the wallet Ratty, that might be a problem - the sort of riding you are doing for work may need different gear for summer / winter even though it will all need to be waterproof.

Hein Gerike have a good selection of textiles.

for the summer why not use kevlar jeans and put a waterproof overpant when needed?

then all you need is a good textile with removable liner and jipers (for air) and a good pair of winter textiles

I have had a pair of spada textile trousers for the past 2 yrs that are cheep and good (no leaks)

i just bit the bullet and got the tricky III suit from HG… love it.
I get sooo hot and sweaty in any textiles, but not at all in these…

Really am very impressed… Csost a lot but with all the gurentees etc… like to think i wont need to buying gear for a very long time now…
HG Stockwell were very helpful… and i got 110 off by using that £50 off voucher twice! Dont get if you dont ask.

I looked at a fair few textiles before i bought a dianese d dry set. It wasnt cheap but fitted the best…

Couriers and the police are probably the best people to speak to, they properly use stuff…

i been doing that, problem is, if it strats raining i have to stop and put them on…so now if i know its likely to rain or have showers during the day i waer them all day, its gets a bit hot tho, i wear red route combats underneath, due to my job i also have to walk around the hospitals and clinics to find the various departments to pick up or drop from/to.

footwear is no problem, i sacrificed my sidi B2 rains, they are the dogs danglies, waterprrof overtrousers are also a pain beacuse they ride up the boots!

rukka are what i am looking at, but well out of my price range at them mo, quite possibly i will go HG, they make great gear! already have HG leathers and mesh textile jacket.

i wont buy anything textile or leather from frank thomas, crap quality from what i seen and know.
