Some new riding gear.
Got bundled up in some new gear today to see how well it worked. Weather was really wet and +5 C (about 40 F.). Tried out my First Gear Kilimanjaro jacket shell with my Tour Master heated liner. Initially not impressed with the jacket. I felt drafts on both arms and a bit at the shoulders. Well it is waterproof and a breathable material so I couldn't complain too much. Had a blonde moment earlier I guess. I left two 9 inch long vents open, duh, found my drafts after I got home.
Also tried a balaclava under the helmet, worked real nice tucked into the collar of the heated liner. Helmet is easier to slide off and on too. And I also gambled on this next item but it was worth it. Heated insoles for my boots. Now I am electric from top to bottom. My feet were very comfy with no hot spots and thinner socks than normal. The jacket, pants and insoles are all Tour Master with mating plugs and one controller powered by the bike. Darn bikes sure keep me broke but it's better than having money and no life worth living. Hoping to get out riding tomorrow with the vents closed and less rain. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
