hi mate, i dont know what your price range is, but i have used a Hien Gericke "VOYAGER II" suit for 2years now and it is excellent.
removeable thermal liners in jacket and pants.
removeable bib n brace chest warmer.
removeable neck/face warmer.
zip together 2 piece suit.
armour in places,including back protector.
completely waterproof and breathable for over 2 years now,never been washed or treated.
it cost me £350 back then, which i thought was a lot, but every time i wear it i congratulate myself for a rare spark of good sense! with all the bits zipped up its like putting a waterproof quilt on, and also a nice loose thin jacket for the summer(but still armoured)
money well spent, and probably loads cheaper elsewhere in europe.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
