nowkeg 03-06-2002, 01:39 AM What do you wear for rainy days? I wouldn't plan on riding my gixxer in the rain but I have on my standard, and I have been caught in the rain as well. There is that big storage space in the back... I was thinking I'd pack some rain gear there... for a rainy day so to speak. FastCat 03-06-2002, 01:58 AM Well, I haven't figured out how to deal with the summer rain yet (other than avoiding it) but my winter gear is a First Gear Kilimanjaro jacket and Frank Thomas pants, both are waterproof. torquemaniac 03-06-2002, 05:35 AM Get a rain suit! gixxer998 03-06-2002, 06:04 AM I only wear rain gear if I don't know her name (hehe)!! images/icons/grin.gif DM69 03-06-2002, 07:50 AM Originally posted by FastCat: Well, I haven't figured out how to deal with the summer rain yet (other than avoiding it) but my winter gear is a First Gear Kilimanjaro jacket and Frank Thomas pants, both are waterproof.<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">easy...bikini =) cuz fast cat is seeeeexy isnt that cadora stuff water resistant?...i wouldnt wear those...last time i got hit, the ground burned straight through the jacket. how bout a pouncho?

The plus side of the textile stuff is that it's warm, easy to keep clean, waterproof, and offers *decent* protection for sane street riding. Trust me, in Seattle, warm and dry is a *good* thing. 03-07-2002, 03:57 AM here click on this... wet weather over jacket jacket (http://209.221.187.20/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=28&t=000121&p=) ive used it many times since i posted that and its GREAT! you fit comfortably with your leathers under em and they keep you practically 100% dry!... over my pants i have simple dririder wet weather pants...they work real well too, but dont breathe too well... nowkeg 03-10-2002, 04:00 PM Cool guys, thanks Nolz! i knew somebody had to make some mtcl specific rain gear... i.e. comfortable while riding and easily to get over your real riding gear. cordua is not really waterproof. I had a waterproof cordura backpack that didn't do much of anything to protect my books from getting wet. Ski suit stuff does a pretty good job keeping the elemets out but isn't very comfotable riding gear... esp when worn over top of your standard gear. gixxer geezer 03-14-2002, 03:33 PM You guys never heard of an umbrella??? images/icons/cool.gif | ||
