Night ride testing the kit

[plowsie]

First time i have really got to test the new kit in the weather conditions they should be used. I wore what i will be wearing throughout the winter this year tonight on a 40 mile bimble, was out for around an hour or so, just got back. Wore a pair of dodgy old tracky B's 1 tight t-shirt and a long sleeved next top, then over these my new textiles that do have a winter lining(non removable) The temp here apparently atm is 9 degrees, i find that hard to believe - it felt a lot colder. But needless to say the kit does its job and i was air and heat tight and i was happy as larry, still wore summer gloves though :D My Supertech boots are good for it too. So all in all a happy chappy.

I have a 5am ride to croft in a fortnights time, and it was reading 3degrees on my cars gauge at that time yesterday morning:(

Iam going to have to put on so many layers under my textiles, they are generally ok but dont zip together so the back rides up a little.

My summer gloves arnt that great either in the cold.

My trousers are Spada :p they were the first thing I bought, in hindsight I wish I had bought the spada trousers with removable lining as they are blooming scorching.

[plowsie]

I pondered on the Spada jacket but my shoulders are pretty broad and it didnt fit right (nothing ever does:(), so went for an alpinestars (summer)jacket which luckily has a removable lining but is only really for the summer anyway as its not that waterproof.

iv gone with rev'it textiles, jacket and trousers

rode all through the glorious summer we had this year and dry as a bone. just have to wait and see what the colder months will be like
