Default 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:



Time to get out there and scratch up those knee pucks.

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

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! 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!
