This one-piece rainsuit by Alpinestars is categorised as ‘lightweight’. It consists of waterproof laminated nylon, treated so it doesn’t stick to other clothing (which you wear underneath it) and highly colourfast.
All the seams are tape-sealed and even though you would suspect this technology to cause moisture on the inside (perspiration), the light mesh lining provides all the comfort and air circulation you need.
Getting in and out of a rainsuit is always easier with a long zip with twin slider. In this case, this zipper is neatly covered with a double cover flap. Below, you can conveniently fit the pant leg closely around your motorcycle boots thanks to a zipper. You create a water-repellent barrier with the (partially) elasticated collar, sleeve ends and pant leg bottoms. There are also adjustment options in the waist.
You’ll most likely wear the Hurricane Rain V2 in conditions with less-than-optimal visibility, which is when the reflective details are a welcome touch. There’s a watertight storage compartment on the inside, at chest level.
What goes for umbrellas, goes for one-piece rainsuits: it never rains when you have one nearby. That’s why it is so interesting to store this Hurricane Rain V2 in its designated and supplied compact little storage bag.
