So did they design this thing with legs and sleeves that are long enough to give you proper coverage while sitting on the bike? I have a pretty nice Walls Blizzard Pruf suit, and that's the only gripe I have with it....when seated, the legs ride up too high and leave a gap for cold wind.

 

Yes, both legs and arms are cut long, that was one of the selling points for me as well.

Thank you for the suit information, very much appreciate having somebody share their experience with products like this. Sometimes you just never know what your going to end up with and then have to pay to send it back. Ordered one for myself and one for the wife.

Thanks

 

Just got mine a couple days ago. According to their size chart I fall between the large and extra large. Got the extra large and its a bit big, they are generous in their sizing. Ample length in sleeves and legs, could have gone with the large. I'm 5' 11" and 200 lbs. I can ride with just a polo shirt and jeans, this thing is WARM! So, with my gerbing g-3's and this suit, I'm set! Great product!

Be sure and purchase some leg heat gators also. Stopped, put both feet down and started smelling burning nylon. Pant leg hit exhaust and fried the right leg material. I'm so bummed! They sell them singularly.

I have a heated jacket liner and gloves and would like to know if I could still plug them in since plug is at waist.Is there any place for cord to come out of suit?

 

Just what I was thinking!!!

 

I'd have to say No, since the suit is desgned as waterproof, but you could easily slide it out the top of the leg zipper since they are two way zippers

 

ordered my suit the other day, looking forward to it arriving, too late for this year of course, after reading the good reviews in this thread I think it's a good purchase.

 

It is a ski suite but works great riding a bike. I have had mine a couple of years now and love it. The legs has a double zipper and velcro to keep it water prof. If you are not riding and outside above 30 degrees or so you will get hot. A good investment in my mind. The sizing is close to what you have. If you wear a med jacket then a med suite will work. Like others has already said the legs/arms are long.

bungies with ball on it used for tents work great to close leg to wind
