Title: Rain & cold conquered
Post by: mxwinky on December 12, 2009, 09:16:12 AM
Just picked up a Firstgear Thermo1 rainsuit this week and got to test it in both super cold and full rain conditions and must give this suit a major thumbs-up.  With just a t-shirt and jeans on underneath I was able to stay warm and cozy in temps down into the 30s, and who knows how much colder with the windchill at 80mph on the freeway.  Took about a 70 mile trip in moderately heavy rain too and stayed completely dry and toasty.  Wore a sweatshirt underneath it in the really bad rain today and didn't feel overly hot, just comfortably warm.  For only $143.96 (motorcyclesuperstore.com) this suit seems like the bargain of the century.  I won't be driving my truck at all this winter!

What gloves were you wearing at the time?
