LAB got replacements just the pants only @ $12, but it still fails on me, as I'd bought 3 different types frm them. Am using the 3rd pair now, hope it holds up..

Hi,

 

Am looking to buy a 1pc rainsuit (coverall type). Does anyone knows which shop in SG got sell? Or which brand of 1pc rainsuit is gd and looks stylish? (don't want to look too ugly in it)

 

Preferably with hood also so that can use it even if not biking.

OGK Pants also not bad. Been using for 2yearz and still going strong. But it's thick though.

My Pro-Grip raincoat ($30 from LAB) started leaking after slightly more than one year. But I handled it quite roughly and squeezed it under the pillion seat of a GSXR1000. That might explain it.

 

So I did some research and wanted to get the RS Taichi DryMaster-X compact rainsuit from MotoWorld. It's supposed to be very lightweight and compact, so will be easy to fit into my box. But too bad only one piece of red colour is left for my size. Doesn't go well with the colour of my bike or helmet at all. In the end I bought the cheapest Pro raincoat ($25 from Regina) as a stop-gap measure. Hopefully it will hold out until the next shipment of DryMaster-X reaches MotoWorld. I'm not expecting it to last for more than a year, though. If it does, it'll be well worth the money!

 

Anyway, this el-cheapo $25 raincoat is lighter and thinner than the Pro-Grip one. It's already somewhat easier to squeeze into my box. So I guess it's not too bad.

I would've thought any jacket or pants which is waterproof is good enough. Obviously cost is always considerable and important, some bikers in the forum said to go for protection gear suit which are waterproof as well. That would be a lot to fork out, but for safety reasons. For consideration only

[ahduck]

Both mine and wife's Dry Master-X (with inner mesh liner type) the inner water proofing is starting to flake after 3+ to 4 years. Now we are in needing to get it replace.

Anyone can comment on the Dry Master-X Compact series.?
