Default Re: Winter Wear

Alwasy difficult. If you can afford it get leather 'suit' and Textiles. As youa re about to ride through the winter (If you pass and become a real rider then you will) Textiles are the way to go, then next year get yourself some leathers. You can start with Leather trousers.

I have had loads, and like you didnt know what to get when i started. I used to wera Ski type clothing on my scooter int he winter. When i got the SV, i bought a decent textile jacket and some textile trousers.

When buying textiles, make sure they are waterproof, and something i have only learnt recently, its not the lining thats waterproof, but the actual jacket. If you have bottomless pockets, Goretex is the way to go, Sheltex is a good alternative form the likes of Hein Gericke.

HTH and best of luck
