Melbourne weather is not extreme, except for heat in summer. 40 -43 C for 5 days or less at its hottest hours, a few times a season..
I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

I ride every day whatever the weather and I can honestly say my Rukka kit which includes the jacket and trousers has never leaked once in 3 years. It's expensive but it does last and will keep you dry in the wet season and cool in the hot and if you come off it offers some of the best protection out there.

Zitat von skinneroo im Beitrag #20 No - googling finds this 2010 article https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/mc-te...cket-and-pants/ I have Rallye 3 trousers, bought in 2016 as it was a discontinued model. From then, BMW seemed to use the calendar year to identify a product as the new one was the Rallye 2016. Hence me referring to the Streetguard 2018 model above. I suspect BMW have or are about to launch a 2020 range (they seem to have a 2 year cycle), hence the 2018 being on the discount rails |

Zitat von skinneroo im Beitrag #20 No, after the 3 BMW just called the next version Streetguard. Some refer to it as the Streetguard 4. We purchased ours in 2016. The only thing I see different about the 2018 model is one more color choice. These pictures show the current Streetguard jacket and Streetguard 3 pants. 123 Big Piney (2).JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Buffalo River 4.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Peel Ferry.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Lee |

On the whole I've been impressed with my Streetguard 4 jacket, apart from the lining in the cuffs starting to rip. __________________________________________________________________ |

For the price of an off-the peg suit you can have Hideout Leathers (https://www.hideout-leather.co.uk/) make you a made to measure textile suit. As a slim 5'6'' most off the peg suits drowned me. Had the suit 4 years (48,000 miles) and apart from +24 deg C use it all year. When the temp hovers around zero I add a heated vest to my base layer. |

Zitat von Scorch im Beitrag #25 I was surprised regular length in the Streetguard 4 fit my 34" inseam. My wife has the same inseam and she had to buy talls in the Women's Streetguard 3 pants. On my Streetguard pants I did not like the removable bib because it was hot on my stomach. I use Klim suspenders instead of the bib attachment. I have the correct waist size but I still need the suspenders to keep the pants from sliding down when standing. Both of us like how the thermal liner does not make the waist feel tighter.

Why limit your choice to BMW? |
