i will probably get shit for this but having always just sucked it and got wet i decided since ill be doing a power of winter milage and mtb this year and the puffer id probably best get kitted out so i bought
some stealth extreme trews , stealth lite trews and a stealth jacket + some deluge gloves
i already owned some Mw02s and neoprene overshoes
today i went out wearing the stealth extremes and the jacket (over a vest baselayer) and my mw02s and overshoes
dont know what its like with you guys but we have flooded roads and shit round here , i just rode through them shin deep in water and very little ingress – was out for around 2 hours torrential rain the whole time , both warm and dry
got home and couldnt believe how dry i was inside , slightly damp at my cuffs on the jacket and slightly damp at the cuffs on my bib longs – where the water from the flooding got in reckon
the gloves on the otehr hand were **** and i had cold wet hands in seconds – least my sealskinz ones kept me warm and wet – yet to find gloves that are as good as my aldi ones for warmth and waterproofing !
