Finally got some leathers for summer riding!
 
Was just using textile stuff before... Great for cold weather or rain, but boy was I miserable in the heat! So glad I finally got some leathers with vents and perforated panels, etc:

Because these pants have perforated panels in the inner thigh, where my textile pants had NONE, they keep me MUCH cooler! :D

Fizzwheel: Well... I wasn't pleased with the pants at first. I screwed up the US --> EUR sizing and got the wrong ones. I was quite suprised how tiny they were! :lol: Sent them back and got a more reasonable size. So far I like them a lot. They fit me really well. I just have to remember to do a squat or two before getting on the bike each day, to get the knees and legs in the right place! When I first hopped on, I almost couldn't get my feet up on the pegs. They are starting to get more flexible though, and I've only had them a day or two. So far, I'd give them two thumbs up!

Mine were a bit tight round the knees, they'll get better after a few trips on the bike. Mine are lovely and comfy now

Yeah, at first I was going to get black/red, to match the bike! Then I thought about that... What if I buy a yellow bike? Or a blue one? Or a grey one?

So, black and grey leathers it is! :D
