We use these and they are great. Include all protection where required and even come with a decent rain cover which is stored in the jacket.

May be too late Rover but these saw Morocco off no probs-

Brand new they're about £90 for the jacket and same for pants. They also do gloves foe £36 and boots if you want 'em. They have the HG 2 year warranty as well. I'd recommend 'em as an option no probs :wink) :mrgreen:

I have this HG air jacket together with the trousers, they are very comfy, quite smart and cool in 30+ temperatures. There are zips to open up in the arms and shoulders, together with the mesh panelling altogether a good outfit. When worn with EDZ underlayer, they'll even do a British summer's day :-)

I've also worn the suit with a light shell rain suit, much better than heavier waterproof gear on a warm day.
