We wear Klim Marrakesh suits which are allegedly showerproof, but on our recent Greece trip we were subjected to torrential rain for 4 days over the length of France and Italy so reluctantly took to wearing Rev’it plasticised nylon 2-piece over suits in the 30+ temperatures. After the first 2 days they were renamed ‘Boil in a bag’, incredibly uncomfortable and I vowed -
1) To not wear them again unless I really had to
And
2) To find something better when I got home.
So, damp at times but decidedly more comfortable I continued, and as long as I was moving the screen took most of the rain. However, then came the day when we were riding on an Italian motorway and a collision occurred some way ahead, resulting in all 3 lanes coming to a grinding halt… then of course we got the rain and very soon I’m sitting in my own personal hip bath, improved only when I put the heated seat on so as to raise the water temperature!
Thanks to BoB21 for an excellent suggestion, a Scott Ergo is definitely on the ‘to buy’ list.

, I was looking for a mesh summer jacket that could be waterproof if needed ?, for some reason the only jacket I’ve found that’s remotely comfortable is Alpinestars textile, it’s waterproof with a removable liner but on the hot days I need something cooler. I see there’s a mesh version V3 Alpinestars about £230 but I’m guessing it’s not waterproof. 
. 2 weeks in Scotland many years ago proved Steve’s boil in the bag scenario with oversuits, perhaps what with my health issues plus sore ass after 1hr and the wife’s bad knee for over a year it’s time to hang up the boots.. 2 weeks in Scotland many years ago proved Steve’s boil in the bag scenario with oversuits, perhaps what with my health issues plus sore ass after 1hr and the wife’s bad knee for over a year it’s time to hang up the boots.
