The black suit blocked mud like Fort Knox gold robbers - the wet had to stay outside. It also had a good cut with a comfortable fit and useful details. The hood can be pulled over the helmet and the top can be folded back for easy donning, the collar closes well and ventilation slits support the already high breathability of the membrane fabric. This is said to be 60000 g/m²/24 hours - which means that 60000 g of water vapour can escape through one square metre of this fabric in 24 hours. That's a hell of a lot - and the climate inside the one-piece always felt very pleasant. That's what you'd expect given the high price.
You guessed it - now comes the big but. But then my bum got wet. From one day to the next. The membrane had probably been rubbed by the saddle. The Suter test confirmed that the fabric now lets water through. The Scottish manufacturer offers a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. I would take advantage of that now. We have another suit in use - it is still waterproof. We'll keep you posted. Price: 460 € (e.g. at Rose or Wiggle available).
Strengths Fit, details
Weaknesses Leaky, expensive
Conclusion: great, if no water had penetrated. Unfortunately, this means: don't buy!
