I found a Triumph one piece rainsuit from the "speed triple collection" A pic of it is below. I googled it looking for comments, but couldn't find anything. Anyone here know if it's any good? Thanks!

I don't know about the "Speed Triple" version, but there was a recent review of waterproofs in RiDE, and they slated Triumph's Chevron one piece suit. The best buy was the HELD AQUA trousers and MISTRAL jacket, and at £35 for the pair it was the cheapest on test. I am after a set, but it has to be blue (fastest colour) and the hunt is still on.

If you are interested, there is a good stockist online at...

Get Geared - HELD Aqua Trousers
Get Geared - HELD Mistral Jacket

Please ask for the Blue jJacket.... they may eventually stock it!!! :-D

I don't know anything of the quality of that suit, but from my experience, a one piece suit isn't as easy as you think. I had a one piece (see album) and quickly bought a two piece after three days in the rain trying to get things out of pockets, zippering up and down the whole length of the suit and other issues I forget just now.

Two piece suits, in my opinion, seem to work easier. Just my take on it. Other's may disagree. I guess you'll just have to get caught in the rain for a few days with this suit to really know for yourself.

Good luck.

PS After more glances at that suit, it doesn't zip the full length and seems to have pockets on the outside. It might work for you. And it's bright! Something to think about. Being seen in the rain.
