British Biking

[The Masons]

Its too bad your such a long "oatmeal savage" as there is a medium set of 
Gerbing electrics (Gloves, jacket, leggings and controller) in a local 
KIJIJI for sale at $100.00CDN/unit (don't know what the exchange rate is on 
the pound at the moment).  Jacket liner 42" chest, 33" sleeve, pant liner 
34" waist x 32" inseam.
You can also run a snowmobile suit covered with rain gear.  Don't know where 
you could find a such an item in Scotland.
