We always hope there is some truth to the story that you only need an umbrella if you forget to bring it, but just to be sure, we'll keep this AX Dry II around.
That's easy, because apart from being waterproof, it excels – apart from being waterproof - in its small pack size (27cm x 15cm) and very light weight. It comes with a storage bag. The AX Dry II is unisex and is made of polyamide. Unlined as it is, this is a pretty pure raincoat: pull it over your motorcycle jacket and go.
It's all finished to a very high standard, with velcro on the sleeve ends and a good central zipper.
Extra is the non-removable hood, which you can store or wear underneath your helmet to prevent water from coming in.
With two pockets, the high collar, reflective elements and hood you can also feel free to go out with the AX Dry II once you step off the bike. However, we would prefer to wear it during a motorcycle ride to a destination with better weather.
