BMW Atlantis Suit

Greetings fellow riders,
I m looking forward to buying a good leather suit and I always had in mind the Atlantis Suit, although is pretty expensive. Many people have reported having it for 8+ years and so..
So, I m wondering if anyone has experience with it both in Cold rainy weather and also in the summer.
Thank you

I have given up wearing leathers in high summer, particularly behind a barn-door RT fairing - I now wear an Airflow Jacket and Jeans.
Remember that leathers are great for abrasion resistance - but offer no extra protection against impacts over a textile suit.
I cannot stop some ladies stroking the nubuck suede, which is pleasant if you're partial to that sort of thing. ^-^

I always wear leather trousers but a gortex or similar jacket. I find leather keeps me more planted on the seat, offers more padding and I generally feel more protected.

+1. I tried Airflow jacket and Atlantis jeans at 31C in a well-heated Italian mountain valley = nether regions too hot for me.

Well I have the airflow suit since 2012 and I love it. I ve gone to the warmest climates with it. But I want something moderate.. that's why I ask you. Also I m planning a trip to nordkapp next year, so I think Atlantis will be great.
