Definitely for the FWIW pile, ...

I hemmed and hawed about getting a Roadcrafter (48L), finally bit the bullet for a 1-piece, waited 7 weeks for them to make and ship it!
All's well so far, a little stiff yet as it's new, but I'm sure that we'll both adjust nicely :goofy: .

I commute fairly regularly and one of my concerns was whether I would be able to leave the suit in a sidecase. I find this incredibly handy as the suit is pretty bulky to carry around, and I didn't want to be wearing into my workplace. I'm happy to report that I can barely stuff it into the left-side :) . I don't have any optional features or pads.

While I'm on the subject, I also recently got a Scorpion EXO-700 (large) :dunce: , and that also just barely fits into the right-side case, but only if I push the helmet all the way towards the back which gives it just enough room to close and lock the case, sheww.

Guess the side-case gods are giving me a break! :yo:

I've had one brief crack at putting a System 5 helmet in a touring case - gave up 'cos I felt such a pillock trying to bend it into shape in public!

You should take real care leaving gear in cases. The UK plant life simply jemmies them open or off the bike. Depending on your work car park you might be OK... FWIW I leave a suit at work and change when I get in; no one has complained yet...

Cheers,
