touring gear thoughts?

[Particle Man]

I've used the Joe Rocket Alter Ego stuff for the past few seasons and have been very happy with it. YMMV.

I love my BMW gear, it just sucks in hot weather. I need to get a better summer suit. It's finally getting cool enough to wear it again. It's unthinkable in summmer to wear it.

One of the things I'm looking for is its cold weather riding abilities, I really want something warm for the winter. I'm not expecting it to be 100% warm, but something that can go out on cold days with the suit, liner, and warm clothes underneath.

I also have no illusion that the 4 season riding gear is there, its either light for spring/summer/fall or heavy for fall/winter/spring. I have enough summer gear,

The BMW rallye pro suit fits this to a tee. I have not found the lowest temperature thats comfortable to ride in yet, my boots and gloves give out first. Actually I need to replace the boots because the gloves/moose paw things aren't a weak point anymore. My boots are first now. The gortex/fleece liner is unfuckingbelieveably good. What sucks though is it's also the rain liner. If it rains when it is warmer, I cant go with this liner because it's too damn hot. I keep a spare light rain suit for normal nonriding use in my top case for warmer months that I can slip on underneath the suit.

probably going to end up with a first gear mesh suit before it's all said and done.

I like my first gear stuff, although I'm not real sure how it will be in the winter. I'll have to let you know, but you'll have already bought something by then.

My best friend has this suit and I've worn it quite a few times. The one-piece wasn't really a problem imo. Was nice to be able to wear dress clothes underneath to and from work or wherever. He's had it for 5ish years and it is still in great shape after tons of use.

nice!
