I have a HELD Monsun rain suit which is very effective, I did cut the hood out of the collar as it prevented my head from being in a comfortable position. I have ridden for hours in this suit in pouring rain apart from around the neck, which you always get it has never let any water in. Mine was 100 pounds from Get geared money well spent.

I use the two-piece BMW Active Climate suit which is warm and totally waterproof but extremely black in a very black sort of way. Dead easy to get into with wetsuit-type leg zips that come right up to the hips, a high collar, storm hood that fits under your helmet, double cuffs etc etc.
Never let a drop in in monsoon conditions.

An innovative new suit for BMW Motorrad, the CoverAll combines simplicity of use and safety in a light, one-piece suit. The suit is tailored for a wide fit, enabling the motorcyclist to wear the suit over existing clothing, for example, a business suit. Easily adjustable, the suit has full length zips on the front and on both legs making it quick and easy to get into and out of.
• The CoverAll one-piece makes it easy to ride the motorcycle to the office, into town and to all destinations where the rider would prefer to remove the motorcycle gear on arrival and appear in "normal" (business) wear.
• The suit is light, but designed for safety.
• Waterproof protection against any inclement weather.
• All requirements for modern coverall wear for the daily commute from home to work are satisfied. The simplicity with which the CoverAll one-piece can be donned and removed is fully in line with the needs and preference of our customers who want to use their motorcycles as their preferred means of transportation in an urban environment.
• Waterproof one-piece oversuit
• Abrasion-resistant three-ply laminate
• Lightweight NPL protectors at shoulders, elbows, hips and knees (removable), height-adjustable knee protector
• NPL back protector can be retrofitted in back pocket
• BMW climate membrane (windproof, waterproof and breathable)
• Integrated storm hood, wind and waterproof
• Long zips on front and outer leg make it easy to put on
• Waist adjustable with side strap, pants and arm cuffs with Velcro fasteners
• Waterproof pockets on chest (inner and outer) and sleeves; two side insert pockets, both with access to pants worn
underneath
• Reflective piping on chest, back and upper arms
• Overlapping material on back creates two-piece look; “variable” back length for increased comfort
• Color: Black/Anthracite
• Logo: BMW badge as rivet in waist at front; BMW Motorrad lettering on left sleeve
BMW CoverAll Suit
400€ , expensive but really delivers what is promising.

The one-piece design is great as an oversuit you can put on without taking your boots off (I have a Triumph unlined one I carry in Summer which is great backup). Would have considered a BMW one before my last bad Motorrad dealer experience, but not now.

Well ive done it ive bought a bmw coverall its a quality piece of kit its very robust and light the zip arrangement is very good as it zips up to the top of the leg and the front zip goes down to your wedding tackle it has 3 pockets that are large enough for phone wallet keys etc im very pleased with it the rain just runs off and im bone dry the reflective bits are of good design i think this will last for ages its the black one as i did not like the grey in fact its like a dry suit i use to have when i did scuba diving but this lets sweat out like goretex 8)
