Well... it's starting to get bloody chilly and I've ridden every week of winter a number of years now and I don't want to break the run. (Why ? Plain stupidity I guess) But I'm getting on in years and damnit... I'm starting to feel it !
I'm not big on battery draining items (a) because the Honda I'm riding at the moment seems to have charging issues and (b) because I reckon theres enough strain on a battery in winter anyhow... so.... I restrict myself to clothing items.
I wear full leathers all year round and I can pack in a fair number of layers... but this year I'm looking like the Michelin Man and I'm still shivering.
So... what do you guys wear to stay warm in winter ? Any particular fabric / items / brands ? I'm right for hands, feet and legs... it's more the torso that gets chilled.
Any input greatly appreciated..... Regards.... Rob (Astro)
