Richa Albatross two-piece, jacket and salopette-type trousers.  Jacket £180, trousers £120, I think.  A lot of money, but well worth it.

Good:

• looks great - black and grey with a few dabs of reflective material
• feels good quality, quite heavyweight materials, chunky zips
• waterproof (so far, in 3 months' winter commuting in Wales)
• fits well (because jkt/trs are sold separately, I could get different sizes for top and bottom halves)
• warm with fitted thermal lining (totally warm over t-shirt and jeans in January)
• Velcro straps to adjust fit on waist and arms
• millions of pockets - haven't found all of them yet
• zip vents on the front for warmer weather
• top part of salopettes can be zipped off to leave ordinary trousers
• armour to shoulders, elbows, back, hips and knees, very comfy and doesn't get in the way, stays where it should
• all linings can be taken out, everything is hand-washable

Less good:

• Velcro fastener at neck can rub against your neck and irritate (neck tube cures this)
• with top part of salopettes removed, cannot zip trousers into jacket
• long zips on legs, but still can't put on over boots as toes/heels snag on lightweight lining
• thermal lining to trousers too bulky to wear over jeans, so I've removed it - still warm enough, though
• gussets behind zips are all lightweight nylon, and therefore often get caught in zip (common problem with a lot of gear IME)
• back protector is semi-rigid, better than the foam pad you get with many jackets, but is still less robust than the CE protection in the other places.

Materials are not Goretex/Cordura (the best names), but it all seems to be good from what I can see.  I never thought I would feel as safe in textiles as I used to in full leathers, but I feel well-protected in this suit.  And warm and dry too.  A 3-hour ride in the pouring rain will be the ultimate test, but so far I am happy with the performance and regard it as money well spent.

My wife has threatened to attack it with Tipp-ex, to add R and D to the name on the back (that's my first name), but that won't be a problem for Nigels, Kevins, etc.

Highly recommended.
