Hi,

Anyone know what the clear rain suits most riders were using last season (and before)?
Where abouts can you get them?

Thanks,

Mika

Why on earth would you want one ?
there crap, most don't even last race distance. They would be no good for road use as there disposable. There clear so sponsor logos can be seen and thin and light so the rider hardly notices there wearing them, neither very important for road use. But if its for racing that you need them i would try the leather race suit company's and/or the shops that sell them.

Yes, it would be for race use; I'm sure it would be terrible for the road!

Hi Mika, welcome. Regarding your query - could I recommend a discarded bin liner instead.

I totally understand. I know a bin liner will probably be better protection than most of the .... that is out there at the moment.

Unfortunately, its for sponsors. Also, I'm just quite interested to know why I can't seem to find them anywhere.
