What to wear

[Baldini]

A generous coating of vaseline under your leathers does the job nicely... or, as Channel swimmers used - Lard.

Lard.

I knew he really meant Fatty the other day,

when he named you Taffy.

 

 

Of course wool has its own built-in lard, or lanolin as the sheep prefer to call it.

 

Vaseline is no substitute.

Nowt to beat the Harris Tweed body stocking over a well laced Liberty Boddice!!!

 

Try riding a Spear & Jackson #7 towed behind your V11 at high speed.

 

OR, as we Celts know, wode works well

A few years ago I co-sponsored a Dutch extreme survival team. Another sponsor was a hi-tec underwear manufacturer from New Zealand: Icebreaker

I still have 3 t-shirts... great stuff, keeps you warm/cool and dry. But I don't think they'll last 50 years.

[belfastguzzi]

hi-tec

See – I knew it!

 

 

And what's all this about, Jaap? I've heard of ventilation, but I think this chap is taking it to extremes.

 

 

He'll catch his death of cold, going about like that.

[Admin Jaap]

Their underwear is meant for extreme outdoor purposes... "Enjoy" the great outdoors like this moron...er...model and you'll be sure to ventilate your nuts off, the hi-tec way.

 

 

But those t-shirts are excellent!

Oh man

You might try looking into silk products. I know it might sound "faggoty". But I found a set of Swedish Army underwear at the surplus store for a couple of dollars (US).They will last forever and are smooth as ,silk. What can I say? Type in silk clothing on the "net" and see what happens. You may not have to spend much and can bypass the namebrand "hoopla" at the same time. That is unless you just have to have "Kawa Davidson" tatooed on your butt cheeks so you can bend over and........... well let's just forget the rest. Love Jip Whitefield aka roadslayer

[al_roethlisberger]

....absolutely

 

 

Silk underwear/longjohns is very popular with the ski crowd as well.

I will tell Jaap

[Guest Roadslayer]

Yeah. Back again. Forget the 'perf stuff' in the cold.Try a heated vest. I know it sounds 'faggoty' but 'by golly' I'm fucking old and don't need to ride in Feb' when it's fooking snowing.Here in the Pacific Northwest of North America we're on the same latitude as Nova Scotia and who the hell would want to ride in that rectum hole? 'Plug in' and get 'lite' or just wait. Jip Whitefield aka roadslayer

Hey, what you wear under yer kilt, er, leathers, is your business unless I can benefit from knowing. Then it becomes "technical."

 

The kayakers in these mountains use a polypropylene weave called 'capalene' which is ideal under either leathers or the textile riding suits. And there is no substitute for the gerbings electrics in temperatures below 50*F. Riding under 38*F you need rolling tire warmers as well.

[francesco]

I'm scared to ask becouse I already bought it,

those dragginjeans with kevlar patch are going to melt on my

butt in case of a slide?

[docc]

i've never heard of them 'melting' ( no personal experience) but I do remember some magazine tests where the seams would fail on jean-type riding pants. Also, there is no impact protection which is mighty nice for that first millisecond ( some personal experience).
