never mentioned warm Tony, but then I've never let any weather stop me riding when I wanted to.
Got my old combats back from the dry cleaners, they look new, considering they are at least 15 years old that's not bad, although the white bits are a bit bright, still a few runs will get a bit of grime on them. I'm fortunate in that I've been riding for a long time and have loads of kit, just about everything you could imagine I've either owned or still do, for example I have four grades (temp wise) of textiles, a couple of one piece leathers, 5 two piece sets and various other jacket/ trouser combinations, 16 pairs of gloves 9 pairs of boots and 7 crash helmets, I normally have 3 outfits on the coat rack, it was only the finding of these old combats that prompted me to wonder what everybody else was wearing. Cheers Mark.

Swap from the A* textile to A* leather - TX-1 I think. When (if) it warms up properly I will take out the liner too. Vent zips work quite well. Could do with some new summer gloves though as my ten-year-old-plus Dannisport ones are looking a bit frayed around the stitching. Oh, and open the chin vents on my Arai.
Still keep my base layer on all the time - in winter they are a thermal layer but in summer they wick moisture away from sweaty areas and stop the over-layers sticking to your skin.

yeah I have a set of four season base layers, they really are very effective in both hot and cold, a couple of the guys got the cheap Lidl or Aldi ones and say they work well, so these days you can get the same benefits for a lot less cash.

Same as the rest of the year but without the windproof mid-layer and summer gloves instead of the Spada Enforcers, although I shall chuck them in the tankbag for longer runs just in case it rains.

RST tracktec gloves, tracktec jeans, RST Mototextile jacket or one piece leathers. Alpine Stars SMX-R or SMX PLUS or SMX2 with Grin factor Kevlar jeans. Have a choice of lids too. Arai or Shark
Got a couple of other bits too just incase I need them. |

Both linings will come out of my Halvarssons Jacket, liner out of my Halv trousers, and A* summer leather gloves will go on. Not got any leathers, but wouldn't mind doing some trackdays, so they are on the cards sometime soon!
