Subject say it all really.

This morning was beautifully sunny, perfect for a day out in the Atom. By 2pm we had thick driving drizzle!!

So what are the best lightweight waterproofs available? Not ones that make you all sweaty but keep the rain out.

I use a BMW Prorain 2 Motorbike oversuit. It was about £75 and you can order them from any BMW Dealer. It is light, not "plasticky" and completely and absolutely waterproof. I have had it in the most horrendous driving rain and have been kept completely dry. It zips up into one of the pockets and fits perfectly in the Atom's "boot" space. I definitely give it 10/10

Go to Rider equipment and its in the Above and Below Rainwear Section

Stay on track, even on wet roads.
Rain, wind and water everywhere. So what? The ProRain 2 suit will keep you dry in the worst of weathers.

Details:
- One-piece suit made of robust nylon with a PVC coating
- Wind and water proof
- Generous use of reflective material and a signal colour for high visibility
- Heat resistant Nomex® material on inner leg
- Diagonal front zipper and long leg zips for easy handling
- Non-slip material in seat area
- Water proof Napoleon pocket
