I still want to do rides in the winter like once or twice a week local rides only around town and stuff. Cold weather doesnt bother me much. Cant really save money if im out of a job right now

I make my girl wear a jacket, helmet and gloves every time we go out. Any atleast SNEAKERS.... it all depends on how much you like her i guess but yea i think it looks kinda stupid when the guy is all suited and his chick has no gear at all

stg has the knox cold killers, and cycle gear sells the bikers choice and the frank thomas anti freeze... all of which are wind/water resistant(or proof?) im pretty sure wind protection wise they are all equivalent but i want max coverage. im wanting the ones that are the full head and face mask but they come down to the top of the chest and also cover the back of the neck/back very well. just curious as to which one has the most coverage...

I want to get a pair of leather pants that will zip in with my A*s leather jacket. Does anyone have any experience or recommendation on a pair of pants? I was looking at both the track pants and apex, both look good and should work, just wanted to get some feedback.

Well, that just changed the nature of this thread! LOL --Wag--

As long as your upper torso is shielded properly from the elements the (full coverage ones) are not needed.... In extreme cold weather you need to protect & shield the neck area & stop the air from getting insto the helmet from the bottom. Place masking tape over your helmet vent intakes for even more protection. Make sure you take your helmet along & try it with the face mask for fit as a lot of them make your helmet...

A* SMX Plus FTW on the street and track!!
