I never got to trying them on, just unpacked the suit and held the top up near my shoulders and the legs were stretched out on the floor in front of me!
Don't think your legs are much different from mine.

No problem changing stuff or returning, like I did yesterday.
Still happy with the tank bag and kidney belt.

Then again there is an alternative for the over suit .

You could just sell it to Gio, now he is back posting again this week!

Still not tried mine for size but noticed these are coming in on 14th .... and I wanted a 2-piece oversuit anyway .....

Think I might take a look at those as well Andy. All I really want is something lightweight to go over leathers. Have been using some simple light overtrousers that I used to use for marshalling on rallies many years ago and an old kagool. They are just there if I really get stuck on a long day out, can't remember the last time I put them on out on the road, as on a weekend fun run I usually just ride home quickly and get wet.
The Lidl ones did not pack down very small and were not light, just decent quality and cheap.

Surprisingly the Reading branch still has plenty of this stuff left in normal sizes. Picked up one of the rain suits today when doing the shopping.

I would consider wyself to be slim to average (5'11"), think my leathers are either a 40 or 42, and a Large size is ideal to fit over the top of them, and baggy as hell without. Seems well made, to the point it would be a struggle to pack it small enough top go under the rear pod.

Hmmm - well based on the rumours that these wouldn't fit, I'd not actually got round to trying them ..... however the Silverstone Deluge dictated that the packet must be broken open and some means found to modify this "Stretch Armstrong" inspired oversuit.
With some trepidation I put them on ....... and found they fitted perfectly over my leathers - no modification required.

Howard shall henceforth be known as "Stumpy"
