Hello! looking for some advice on Cordura type suits..

Looking at either 'Alpinestars 360R' or 'Spidi Admiral' anybody using one? Any info/feedback on waterproofing, comfort, sizing etc would be great. Any other reccommendations...? must be one piece or fully zipped.

Thanks

Two piece zip together is better. Rain can run down the zip and get through where it bunches around the waist.

Although extremely good (I had a Triumph one) they are a pain to use at times

They are not really practical sods to get in and out of and if you want the toilet they're a bugger to get off in a cubical.
As said by Fret get jacket and trousers that's what I use when long distance touring works a treat.

Hein Gericke's master series always used to get good reviews. While the exchange rate is still good you might want to consider an american company called aerostich. I have the darien gear which is totally waterproof and very warm but I did manage to put a small hole in the jacket in a slow speed drop, so I'd say go for the road crafter which is more durable.
