I was having the same thoughts this time last year before heading off to Norway. I was persuaded by several members on this forum that Klim would be the bast way to go, so I took the plunge and bought a Klim Overland jacket from the Adventure Bike Shop for around £380. I must say, it's one of the best decisions I've made. As I rode through Sweden, I endured 7 hours of torrential rain and the jacket kept me bone dry... the same cannot be said for my boots and gloves! Since then I've bought some Klim pants and gloves, but still looking for some Goretex boots.petecam wrote:But seriously, my Halvarssons suit has done great but I hate the fact it's only waterproof when you have the liner in.
I was fed up with carting liners around to never use them or forgetting them when I needed them. Over suits are also a pain in the proverbial, getting them on in time and over boots, etc. Klim and the like address the problem in a much more sensible way and are, in my opinion, worth every penny.
