Just treated myself to some good riding gear...

For the first time in my life I finally ponied up for some top notch all weather and waterproof riding gear (gore-tex) and I am looking forward to using it this season!

I purchased and received the following:

- Sidi On Road Gore Tex riding boots

- Klim Latitude Misano Gore-Tex Jacket

- Aerostich AD1 Gore-Tex pants

I have to say everything is top notch quality wise and I am impressed! No more pulling over to change or put on rain gear Le the riding season begin :smile:

 

im jealous! looks like i will be riding t work today in the rain. its that or have the ole lady drop me off and then have to drag my son out of bed to come pick me up at 11. i really need to get my jeep fixed!

 

Hahaha, I'll tell you why I picked this gear. A guy I work with is a hard core rider and after he rode to work 40 miles Monday and Tuesday.....in the pouring rain and 39 degrees no less.....He comes to his desk, pulls off the pants, jacket and boots and he was bone dry...I was amazed, lol. Ordered the stuff the next day

 

Do yourself a favor and get some spray on rain repellent. At least cover your jackets and your pants in it as it will help. That stuff isn't totally waterproof and great for light to medium rains. Adding the extra bit of rain repellent will help you out when it really starts pouring or you are in a long stint of rain. It is generally only $5-$10 and well worth the investment.

 

yeah, the directions say to treat it once a year or so, hehe. Where can you get that stuff locally (Scotchguard)?
