gosh, I have had everything mentioned. I started with Joe rocket back in the day. the ballistic series which I likes, at that time there were some very nice features provided for the cost but I wouldn' look at JR now. I have a oylmpia ast and the Ranger pants both which I like , again some very good features including a very nice full quilted liner for both pieces but not waterproof despite their claims that it is.
I have had a number of areostich, currently a one piece and a two piece. I kinda prefer the one for complete ease of use but yes, you look dorky. I never take the two piece apart since the pants won' stay up on their own. it does provide a "better" fit than the onesie.
I have a KLIM overland AND a KLIM latitude misano. I prefer the overland, it' a bit less " crunchy" than the latitude. a few less features as well, mainly pockets really. I crashed pretty good in a misano suit and there was no shifting of armour and no concerns at all of safety. and I was wearing a men' fit.
the suit crashes very well. I have sent my first misano back to gore for gore due to leakage. the entire suit was replaced. THAT RIGHT THERE is the reason I will never go with anything other than gore. you clutch your chest at the cash register and spend a few sleepless nights thinking of the money you spent, but it' worth it.
I will never go back to fussing with liners. more to pack, dangerous to stop on the side of the road to Don your layers, and it usually stops raining 5 min after you went through all of that to wiggle into it. inner layers I dont understand.....I have to take my jacket off in the rain, put on my liner, then put jacket back on? no thanks.
the stitch can be warm in the summer, but if you are wearing synthetic active t and shorts, open up the long generous vents, you'r OK. I find the KLIM to be bearable in the summer not as hot as the stitch. the oylpmpia used to have good vents that you could velcro open.
I would love to try a rukka or revit but I fear moving away from gore. I have never had any of my gore gear gets "saturated" or feel "saturated".
it' about what you can afford and what you are comfortable in. if it's not comfy, you won't wear it. my boots are sidi canyons and Daytona. both gore. feet bone dry. I am not interested in "lower end" brands. if you can, spend the extra coin, or like the others have said, score a deal off kijiji.
there are some nice BMW suits and revit suits on there now that I wish fit me. I just like to try and have different gear to wear.
