The One-pieceas outerwear also Overall is ideal wherever particularly sensitive bodies need to be especially well protected from particularly pernicious environments (heat, cold, dirt, chemicals, airless space). Which makes sense, because only the one-piece suit can actually be completely sealed.
Couldn't what makes sense for astronauts, divers, racing drivers or the explosive ordnance disposal service also help when cycling? At first glance, it hardly seems necessary, as water generally does not penetrate between the jacket and trousers during the ride - assuming the rainwear fits reasonably well.
However, for anyone who lives in a rainy region and rides a mountain bike even remotely like Danny MacAskill, the situation is different. If your bike is more than just a means of transport and a piece of sports equipment, you will love the freedom that the one-piece offers when you are rolling around in the mud all day long. Parents should also put their small children in a mud overall when they go out to play in muddy weather. The video makes it clear to everyone what is meant:
Endura MT500 Waterproof One-Piece
The rain overall from Endura is designed to protect you at the back and be comfortable to put on and take off at the front, and combines a two-piece front including waistband and jacket hem with a one-piece back. You should even be able to keep your shoes on your feet when slipping in and out. That would be practical, especially if you want to slip on a raincoat when you're out and about. Who likes to take their shoes off on the way ...
To keep the water out but the microclimate inside the suit bearable, the one-piece is made from Exoshell 60 three-layer fabric, which is said to be exceptionally breathable (64,000 g/m2/24 h), windproof and waterproof, and features taped seams and a water-repellent front zip with storm flap. Long 2-way zips, which extend into the back and are fully functional even when wearing a rucksack, allow fresh air to flow in. The large front zip pockets can be used as additional ventilation openings. The zip pockets on the thighs and the sleeve pocket for the lift pass provide additional storage space.
Like the MT500 waterproof jacket, the One-Piece also has a generous, adjustable hood that can be pulled over the helmet, folded into a stand-up collar and fastened at the touch of a button. If it does get too steamy, the legs can be removed above the knee. Should something still not fit: The Scottish company offers a 90-day satisfaction guarantee on all products in the Endura MT500 collection, during which Endura will even refund the purchase price of around 460 euros in extreme cases.
