slightly off topic, but how does the SAF camo raincoat fare in comparison with the RS raincoats?

Probably SAF raincoats are not cut to be "slim fit" so it will catch the wind and flap more.

[fatboypin]

I was actually referring to the waterproofness comparison... haha. Any idea?

Went to MW today to look for a rain coat as my 2yr old OGK rain coat is leaking quite badly.

Wanted to get the rain buster but the sales gal says no more stock and suggest the drymaster, the price tag was $160. In the end, bought the RS Taichi Tarmac Air Jacket, $126 (Armour Mesh jacket) plus a RS Taichi inner waterproof $49, total $174. Pretty good deal.

Will get the $15 rain pants from knox dealer next week.

cool. hows the air flow?

cool. hows the air flow?

Airflow is quite good on the move, can feel the breeze going through my whole body. This is my first time using a mesh jacket not sure how it compare to other. Have not tried wearing it in the hot afternoon sun, but overall its much cooler than my OGK raincoat. Design is simple as I do not like very loud design.






The waterproof inner liner is very thin and can fold until very small and put under the seat, haven tested how well its against the rain yet will post an update when I tried it in the rain. Couldn't find a picture of it from the internet.

[S750WP]

Another Mesh jacket I saw in MW, Element with bigger RS Taichi world, about the same price as the Tarmac

You change to a slipper when it rains while riding a bike?

It's either you have never had road rash or you think you're wearing 'pure leather' with rubber soles.

Why would you exchange the discomfort of a wet shoe when the risk get's higher on wet road?

How much is a bloody pair of shoes/boots compared to the risk of one day into A&E, crushed bones, and months of pain.

I helped a nurse pick out grit and gravel from a motorcyclist's legs and arms before. Big burly man, shredded jeans, wrecked harley hog, screaming like a sow being slaughtered.

we used long nose pliers to pull out grit and gravel piece by piece. leaving ones that are too small need to be scrubbed out with a brush.

he was very big, very strong, very strong voice too. people can hear his screams outside the hospital.

wear your slippers in the rain again, bro. so clever, so gung-ho.

Ah!! That's a little bit better. - covered toes. Safety shoes are great. protects when our feet gets pinned.

Your'e right about the yucky feeling of wet shoes all day.

I keep shoes in the workplace for that very reason.

Better our feet be covered with a strong pair of shoes. But then again, different people have different levels of what costs and what's risk.

All the best & keep the rubber side down!

Anyone got RST397 waterproof gloves? How is it when riding in the afternoon with blazing sun? I am thinking of getting it..

[*BC*]

I was actually referring to the waterproofness comparison... haha. Any idea?

guess it all depends on how long the waterproof material is able to lasts. how u store your rain jacket will also determine the lifespan of the waterproof material too. brand is just only a name.

nice jacket. but the back protector is not CE-approved. need to get the Delta model back protector, if u want a safety back protector. however, overall; it is a nice jacket.

I have it for a week liao! Waterproof means water can't go in and thus water can't go out too. It felt slightly damp after those cold chilly midnight rides, any other time when the sun is out, my gloves will be wet with my own sweat. But it dries quite fast so i can't complain much.

Nice jacket! Motoworld got quite a lot of cool stuffs. I got my Drymaster-X Compact back in Aug 2011. I always flush with clean water after using it so now still look and work as good as new!

[LedZeppelin]

TAICHI is really not bad but guys do check out the DAINESE showroom at ubi somewhere, it's on sale now.

Hi! I'm sorry to intrude but I'm actually a final year student from Temasek Polytechnic and I'm designing safety gear for riders in Singapore. It would be extremely helpful to my research and overall project if you could help me out!

My 1 year old drymaster pants is leaking... i did not see any hole or anything. or is the waterproof wearing off?
Any recommendation for good rain coat?

[destalin]

Bought Rev'it raincoat from Regina last year, $70 for top & pants. Way lighter *&* more waterproof than my cheap $25 AS Phoon ones. They are as light as a windbreaker, but have stood up to thunderstorms (I always ride in the rain, & they have lasted over a year with no loss in waterproof abilities).

Top in neon yellow, bottom in black, both have reflective strips. Very light & comfortable, you won't sweat much even if the rain has stopped! Good fitting as well – the pants are flared at the bottom (allowing me to put them on easily, even with my boots), but have velcro to fasten them tighter to your leg after (so they don't flap in the wind either).

This is the one, Rev'it Cyclone H20: https://www.facebook.com/reginaspeci...88338751226869

(I'm not associated with Regina, no worries )

[Yahmarhuh]

my Drymaster X compact pants got a hole fm my exhaust... Are any of the RS Taichi rain pants heat resistant? and does heat resistant prevent holes in pants if it touches exhaust?

Oh n does anyone knows the current prices for the various models?

[JingJangJoe]

Nothing is heat resistant...... unless you're wearing kevlar
