any good rain coat to recommand?

[hElleVer]

hi. r u refering to motoworld? the branch at kaki bukit?

 

yes bro.. kaki bukit branch

[plasticprison]

I'm using my Northface jacket. It's originally meant as rain gear for climbing, trekking. It works in keeping the rain out, has velcro at the sleeves, and it has other features which enables it to breathe well. One downside is that it tends to billow out in the wind, have to adjust mirrors otherwise all i see in my mirrors is my jacket. The other downside is that it's pretty drab looking, being grey/brown color. I saw TP riding in the rain the other day, they wore florescent yellow rain gear, super noticeable. Don't think I'll go out of my way to get a bike raincoat, as my current setup works fine for the rain. But may add on a high visibility vest or something.

 

Heh heh, i thought i'm the only one using the northface jacket as rain coat. keeps me super warm too.

 

what are you using for your rain pants bro?

Hopefully taichi raincoats consider adding flourescent yellow colors in future.. easy to spot for other road users esp those rainy nights.
