| Just a few observations about the textile suit I have been wearing since January. 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.
