Does MotoPort make a One Piece Suit? I was referring to a One Piece suit regards IN and OUT. (I was not clear, sorry)
I met MotoPort owner, Wayne Boyer in the 80's, run into him once in a while at industry events. Good guy, impressive product ... but not perfect.
I tried a MotoPort jacket on a year ago. The one I tried I think used Kevlar mesh. super tough, but heavy fabric.
I wondered about it's water proof ability. Does it use an "inner WP liner" not a fan those ... wouldn't buy a jacket that requires a WP liner. Been there, done that.
Sorry, haven't read you review, but will do!
EDIT:
Just read your review! Thanks for the honest assessment!

So many GUSH over a product! I agree about unrivaled protection, It seemed super tough to me! Probably BEST in a crash!
Sorry to hear about limited versatility. For a travel jacket I need POCKETS ... and LOTS of them and Zippers that work and don't break. My lowly FirstGear Rainier has ALL YKK waterproof zipper everywhere. 5 years on, no broken zips, no leaks, no internal WP liner.
I Also prefer fabric that flows air but is waterproof ... I ride in HIGH HEAT. NO seperate WP LINER for me! Broke zips are a drag when on the road ... but if you're local I'm sure Wayne would fix it all free. (he's really good on customer service, yes?)
My FirstGear is waterproof, yet the fabric flows a TON of air. (not sure how)
NOT good below about 40F. But GOOD in plus 95F. It's fabric is light weight, will not match MotoPort at all, not even close, so one crash and it's out.
I use my own custom armor (strap on elbow/back) except shoulder armor. My jacket has 8 pockets ... 5 are BIG. I got the jacket free to review, have two spares (new) hanging in closet.
