Rain Coats & Bike Cover

[byon]

Hey SBFers

 

Care to help the needy here,

 

 

I'm intending to buy rider-raincoat and bike-cover.

 

i won't be using my bike for awhile, so i'm intending to cover it. my bike comes with a huge 48L box. are there huge covers around? or should i buy car covers?

 

secondly, i dont have a rain coat for 6 mths, have been riding under cold rain falling sick due to it. guess i need raincoats. can you advise what raincoats are good and wont wet my clothes while riding?

 

 

 

went to msia. ahhou @ hougeng tested the bike cover he sold for small cubs, it doesnt cover since my bike's v long ..

 

 

any suggestions, opinions, feedbacks are appreciated,

thanks in advance!

For TAs, try Steed bike cover. Can be found @ ard $20++, a shop selling canvas opposite Regina, along Jalan Besar, along the rows of shop house that also contains Chiap Lee branch.

I say. For yr size, get L, if kiasu, than tk XL.

 

If you have no fuss over raincoats, get frm LAB, $40-50?? Pro Grip normal ones.

Else wise, OGK(frm LAB) or "Arai"(frm CL/219) for intermediate quality.

Best I found so far(IMO), is RS Taichi(frm Motorworld), Rain Buster / Dry Master.( )

[Guest limpeiwah]

honestly all the rain coats to me are the same....

as in they do a reasonably good job to block out the light drizzle but are useless against the super heavy downpour...

 

i am using the OGK Aeroblade 2 and it is very thick and heavy and very hot....

haha

in the heavy rain also water seap in....haiz....

 

hoped this helps in anyway....look around 1st and find the lighter one...haiz!
