Smile One Piece rain suit

Hi gang - I live in th UK where, apparently, riders don't have chest sizes as fat as mine - 52" or waists of 48". Yeah - right!
Anyway, I can't buy a 1 piece rain suit to fit so does anyone out there know where I could buy one?
I want one that folds up as small as possible as I don't intend to use it much - just in summer showers.
Please help

I myself have similar issues - I like to go and find the managers of menswear sections in department stores and demand an answer as to why they only stock boys clothes.

But I digress. I have found that cortech / tourmaster make some gear suitable for the manlier sized man, and I'm going to be buying one of their setups. I favour the two piece myself, just personal choice. There are 2 lareg mail order places that sell their stuff, www.shadetreepowersports.com and www.denniskirk.com. Don't know what their overseas shipping policies are, but you might want to look into them. The 2 piece tourmaster suits pack up pretty small. Once I have tried them out (in the next 2 weeks) I'll shoot you a PM and let you know what I think.

Wet Suits

I used to buy the 1 piece throwaway ponchos that came in a small pouch (fit in your pocket) @ the dollar store for 2/ $1. Most of those stores are closing up so I havent been able to find them as of late. I guess they will showup some where?
