Those two folks who rode around the world on Sym Cubs wore Aerostich Darien Light suits. I recall that they seemed to be very happy with the Dariens and said that they covered a very wide range of riding weather.

The RST was out of stock when I tried to order it in. I guess if a new one is coming out that would be the reason.

In the end I settled on a Halvarssons Panzar. Not cheap at £300+ and maybe not the best all round option but I'd never worn a jacket that fitted so well - and with departure date looming I had to choose something.

Very different from my initial description but so far I'm happy with the choice. Been through France where it was around -2C to +5C and Morocco where it got up to around +27C. Managed well so far with all the weather that's been thrown my way and also the little trip to the floor I made on the piste :oops2:. I'll see how it gets on as the trip continues.

If anyone is thinking of buying this jacket I'm happy to go into detail on the pros and cons.

I find kevlar jeans horrid after about 6 hrs in the saddle in European summer rides, thats been my experience of my draggins and of a friend wearing another brand


however I did see today the UK made Roadskin jeans which use a Dyneema fabric over a Kevlar or some such, anyway much thinner yet stronger apparently and more breathable

I wont be in a position to buy any for a bit but worth consideration and investigation
