this may be a daft question - leathers.

I just wear a plain blue fleece, less chavtastic and no flappy fanny hood

Pockets are the biggest bonus of textiles as there is only so much you can stuff under the pillion seat.

If you get too hot with a fleece over the leathers...what do you do with it?

I do wear a windproof over leathers if I get too chilled but thats about it.

I know loads of people wear hoodies and fleeces etc.

+1 on the losing stuff, I lost my mobile a while back gutted.

Edited for you

Fair point.

Unless you ride an srad then you can fit a smart car under there

Pockets definately are an advantage, Not sure I will be thinking about pocket storage if I'm sliding along the floor though

You raise a very good point. That is provided the phone doesn't get broken in the fall or sticks into you

Am I the only one that carries bungees in my plastics?
(unless I have the capacity for luggage with me)


Aw no - I was damn relieved to still have my phone!




1992- unlikely. They usually insist on leathers I think. Went to a slightly more lax charity track 'riding day' and they said leathers or something of equal protection. dunno if my '600denier' abrasion resistant textiles are anything compared to leathers?
