If you buy huge there’s room underneath for more clothes I suppose, as well as extra amusement for all around.
Yes, I read about CCM on HU yesterday – I’d better get over there for a closer look.

It also seems to increase wind chill, but that may be common to all unlined oversuits? Had it four months and my wife’s still laughing.

You’ve probably already clocked this Chris, but if you haven’t you should find it of interest. http://www.ccm-motorcycles.com

I was also eyeing up the BMW suits for 80-odd quid, but like you was also put off the bright yellow which might have risked getting gang-polinated had I got too close to a hoard of insects. I’ve no doubt the Rukka will laugh off a downpour. In a couple of weeks I hope to find out on a ride up to far north Scotland. ‘Och, it’s the urban spaceman!’

I have been looking for a one piece over suit to go over my leathers. BMW variety looked the best, but bright yellow, and how much?
Then I remembered I have a Rukka one piece suit in the garage. It is made by Rukka” boutique”, made for Honda. It is silver with yellow fluorescent stripes on the legs, shoulders and middle back. God knows how old it is but it’s in great condition, and I’m sure 100% waterproof (on the outside). I have now stopped the search and am looking forward to my first ride in the wet. I wonder how long it will take for someone to comment that I look like a space man, in my silver suit and helmet?
