Hi Foggy
Some years a'go I tryed to get one of them, it appears they were only made in small sizes, due to tank crew only being small persons, makes sense I suppose.

HG Voyager jacket and trousers (bib type), 4 years old and never leaked a drop onto me but the outside pockets do leak slightly after a long down pour. Very warm, almost too warm in the relatively mid weather we're having at the moment. Cuff a bit tight going over the top of my Dianese gloves (leather/fabric/gortex) but fine over the Frank Thomas Aqua.

Dianese gloves same age, and performance as the HG stuff, expensive but well worth it. The Frank Thomas have been consigned to the shed for use when gardening, mixing cement etc. Must be good for something 'cos they are shite as winter biking gloves

Alpinstars SMX-3 gortex boots, again 4 years old, fantastically comfy from the very start, warm enough with thermal socks in all but the coldest weather but who in their right mind willingly rides around in snow and slush. Was waterproof but started leaking around the sole few months ago - again only in very heavy down pours so hanging on to them until I can find something as good.

I guess I'm gonna take that as a compliment!!!! I'm 5' 8" tall and about 12 stone, and mine is a little large now I've lost some weight since buying it, but works a treat - even when riding last weekend in -2 - I know WHY???
