"Good clothing but waterproof?" 2009-03-31By
Heather Wagoner (USA)
I bought both the Balistic 7.0 jacket and pants this year. They are warm and do a decent job of limiting windchill. The pants have an excellent waterproof liner that is removable. Unfortunately the outer pant and jacket is made out of a highly textured material that holds quite a bit of water, and soaks up mud. Very hard to keep clean and quite likely to be drip drying for a while after a wet ride. The liner in the pants does a great job of keeping your lower half dry. I am able to wear my work clothes under them instead of changing upon arrival most days. The liner in the matching jacket is not waterproof and I often find large damp spots on my shirts when I arrive at my destination and usually there is water that has soaked through the pant and is dripping down the waterproof liner so one has to be careful removing them to keep the clothes underneath that layer dry.
Also the position of the knee pads can be a little tricky. If you are under 5'5" and riding your own bike you may need to do some alteration. I'm 5'4" and the knee armor works in either pocket as a passenger, but shifting is painful when i ride my own so I had to sew a 3rd pocket on the inner liner for proper knee armor placement. Clearly Joe Rocket's models either ride behind their man friends or are the tall anorexic type from the cover of fashion magazines.
