No such thing as waterproof leather - Read the blurb.
Words like water repelent and waterproof coating does not sound very convincing too me.
A good downpour and I bet things will become very damp.

I've got Richa leathers that I wear summer or winter. If it rains I put on over trousers. If it's cold I wear thermals from Millets under them. If it's cold and raining I wear both... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]Originally Posted by benobiker
Cheers fellas. This is not what I want to hear mind you! Are you really telling me that no one is making cheap good quality winter leathers for a couple of hundred quid when it costs £1 for a child to stitch together 150 pairs of a famous brand of trainers???
I think there is a missed sweatshop opportunity here!! In the mean time it is either material other than leathers or ...... blue peter it with some summer leathers... now... where is that sticky back plastic......MUM can i have that fairy bottle......
I wear a textile jacket cos it's got more pockets, and more space to wear extra layers. Polo neck jumper from Millets, fleece jumper from Millets, and thermals from Millets if it's really cold... [smiley=happy.gif]
Millets are useful...

[quote author=CBRowner link=1288633524/0#8 date=1288712101]I used to wear my leathers all year round, when I rode, and just wore a see-through over suit when it rained.
Just a see-through over suit...Don't think I'd have liked to see that...

I wear one of those waterproof romper suites over my leathers, they are a bit uncomfortable but do keep you dry

A sight for sore eyes, especially if I did it round Westbury
I did wear my leathers under the see through suit, sorry to disapoint the ladies

ta for all advice! I reckon you are all correct but being a stubborn...erm... well you know... I am going to buy a cheap as chips set of leathers (old ) off ebay, spray them with nikwax or similar. Tape up all the seams inside then get totally soaked and cold and ruin them , then follow your advice and finally accept if I want to wear leathers all year. MOVE!!
