I am thinking about getting some two piece rain gear to wear on top of leathers to have some protection from cold wind. I wonder does anyone do that or I will look retarded riding in rain gear when it is dry? [8D]

The problem is that both my pants and jacket have mesh patches and when its cold I'm freezing no matter how many stuffI wear under. I think rain gearshould bewindproof and should help with cold wind.

I don't want to buy winter gear because I will not be able to ride in winter anyway, just a month or two in autumn until snow.

 

where you from that you cant ride in the winter ...Im in indiana and i'm plannin on riding year round..and as far as looking goofy just get a black set.. it wont stand out as bad..note my rain gear is all camo and so is my winter riding gear ..same stuff i wear to hunt so i know im warm and dry

 

I'm from Canada So, does it protect from the wind?

 

yes my rain gear does ... i got this really nice light wieght jacket from ll bean ..mesh inside liner ..it wont snag on the leather either

 

I have a thick Gore-Tex two -piece suit I wear over race suit and it works perfectly. Every time I pull over, under a bridge, and suit up, it stops raining! Murphey's Law.Pax,G.

 

I like to use my joe rocket jacket. The liner in it does a good job at keeping me warm. And for my legs I use snow pants.

Everyone I talk to thinks its retarded to ride in the cold regardless of what I'm wearing. But I'd rather be a warm retard than a cold one!! Haha.
