I wear a pair of black 18 inch patrol boots [like the mounted officers wear],a pair of gloves with the fingers cut off,and a Cortech jacket with zipper vents for hot weather riding.And this jacket also comes with a zip in liner for cold weather riding.This jacket also has elbow,shoulder, and back padding,in case ya should take a spill,and also has reflective lines on it for night riding. And it comes in several differenrt colors.Check it out on line.I believe I paid around 200 bucks for it several years ago and it's still like new.
However,in the real cold weather,[the coldest I've riden in to date was -25*F] I wear a set of the Gerbing Heated Clothing which consists of gloves,jacket liner,pants,socks,AND a THERMOSTAT to control the heat level.And I bought these well over 30 years ago and they're still like new today.Plus,this heated clothing also carries a life time warantee,that is,as long as it's not obused or damaged from an accident!
So after almost 60 years mounted on two wheels,ya gotta learn something about what clothing ya need to be wearing for the four seasons we have in this part of the country!! Dave!!!
