Their Rainlock suit is good quality and a good fit over Airflow. Hardly ever use my Airflow now as I have an Airshell jacket. As vented as Airflow but with a waterproof thermal liner and very bright.

Hi, I have the airflow jacket and pants I have used the red wind/rain jacket that comes with it.  It seems pretty water resistant, I just don't like the color.  I like that it tucks nicely in the back pocket....


Did yours come with it?


I also travel with a tourmaster water proof pant jacket combo that works great and is cheap.  Over jacket and pants, very water proof in those, also boot covers....used em a lot and they only cost 80 bucks cdn.  Comes in a travel bag and packs small.


Hope this helps, oh and I have traveled in serious monsoons.....

Ditto. If you want something that packs away into a small bundle the Revit Cyclone H2O works well. Cheap and after a year of abuse is still going strong. Useful in the Winter too as an additional layer to keep you warm.

They don't normally come with an oversuit.  The Rainlock jacket was red up until recently when it went blue, so I think that is what you have.

When we go to Europe in our Airflow jackets we take lightweight walking jackets the type that have hoods hidden in the collars and fold into small stuffer bags, in our case goretex. There is a better selection in outdoor shops and with discount prices there are some good bargains. We have ridden all day in rain and never got wet. Also handy to slip on when cold high in the mountains or early morning. The additional advantage is that when you are staying somewhere you can wear them casually.
