[really really] lightweight rain gear for big bike

[Nebula]

I went to Huai Kwang and saw really light looking rain suits ( some) , so I m wondering how much can they hold. Will they stop being waterproof after rained few times.

Tomorrow I l be buying the helmet lining cleaner so I m thinking should I buy also the waterproofing agent and just spray it on my jacket and pants. It may not be so good for hard rain but for light should do. May be someone tried it already.

what brand helmet lining cleaner are you getting?

I haven't any that stop the mildew smell you get here in Thailand esp in low / rain season.

you ave to wash the liners carefully with soap or Johnson's baby shampoo if they are removable.

If no time, i just put my helmet in front of a fan until the morning and it kills the smell for some time.

or you can get an ion generator for helmets, they have another brand here sold in Thailand for i remember 7 - 8 k thb. they are very effective and keeps your helmet dry and smell free.

I've always been leery of those ion generators; they do produce an amount of ozone which is harmful to composites...

Last time somebody said something bad about Sharper Image they got sued. And I don't have the deep pockets nor lawyers to survive that like Consumer Reports.

I use a lightweight Goretex cycling jacket (Gore Bikewear). Gear designed for cycling tends to be better ventilated than motorcycle gear. I wear it over an armoured mesh bike jacket.
