I know it is an advert for an overpriced rompa suit - but it's the kind of riding I like.

I like the idea of the all in one, ideal for grim conditions

brilliant, wants.  Suspect there might be much sweatiness involved if there is much climbing but still likes

Good job he has plenty of 510s available to him, they'll take ages to dry out after riding in that stream 🙂

You lot wear too much clothing.

And the bloke on the yellow bike is quickerer than the bloke on the grey bike, and he doesn’t fall off neiverz.

Still a fun few mins vid though.

Enjoyed that.

Just nice seeing mates having a great time on bikes whatever the weather.

What it's all about really.

A very effective advert it is too.

Just wish I could fall half as well as that.

Yuk, looks like a right sweat bag. Might as well just get rained on you'd end up as damp at the end of it. Never had a breathable jacket that is breathable enough, so a boil in the bag onesie doesn't appeal...especially at Endura pricing.

Nice vid as always though.

Even if it wasn't waterproof it would be great to keep thr filth off.

I'm not so keen on the onesie, but it has made me think again about waterproof trousers. Something tight enough round the calves not to flap and tough enough on the rear not to fall apart in a few weeks, could be just the ticket for a Scottish winter. Peel them off at the end of the ride and at least I wouldn't have to walk back into the house/shops/cafe looking like the creature from the swamp.

That looks grim. It'd need to be a good way below zero for me to not be a horrific sweaty mess riding in that.

My boss has just bought a Dirtlje dirtsuit. Same idea but only shorts. He’s got the thin, cheap one, big cent zips down the sides. Hasn’t had a chance to ride it in proper filth yet but it looks pretty good and packs down small.

I’d like to try the pro version, looks brill for damp cold days as well as full on rain.

Not particularly expensive when you consider the number of 300 odd quid jackets there are around.

Some of my mates that golf have 500 quid worth of Galvin Green waterproofs, yet still won't walk onto the first tee if it's raining! 🤣

Cheap waterproof jacket and overtrousers from regatta or somewhere, that don't matter if they get ripped would do the same and just hose them off when you get home

but it’s the kind of riding I like.

Yeah, I'd like it more if I could get anyway near close to it's goodness! Nice vid. The advert side is lost on me. (I am TJ)

Ha! I was thinking it was Aberfoyle as well. I remember riding down a trail there one winter where the conversation went along the lines of...

Beagy: Are you sure this is the actual trail? Because I think we're in a large stream.

Crispin: Yep, this is the trail

Beagy: Are you really sure?

Crispin: Erm no. Hang on a minute, I think we're in a stream.

The advert's brilliant, really liked it, but I agree with some of the comments above about it looking like a sweatsuit. Unless it's made of string vest material, I think I'd pass out within five minutes of wearing it.

Here's a picture of me, just having got to the lab in my Hi-Vis, Glasgow weatherproof, cycling kit. It's a bit sweaty when all zipped up, especially once we realised it's actually supposed to have an airline attached to it.

No. He says "I can't flipping wait" as he does a flip. Cheesy AF but I'm still massively jealous of the guy.

He says flipping all the time in videos not because he does flips, but because he's not usually allowed to swear. In person, and especially riding, he's a sweary man. It's like Guy Martin's "by eck", it's the only way he can get through a sentence without saying ****

I'm going to go out and ride my bike like an eejit this weekend, after that. Won't be buying a sweat romper though
