I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don’t own a car, so that’s probably more distance than I’ve covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
Not the person you asked but I just used to wear surf shorts and pack my pants in a water proof bag. Your skin will dry, and they may be cold initially but with the effort they warm up
That’s kinda how I do it now. But it’s gonna get cold soon, and even I am not immune to the cold and wind.
My go to for the Winter (snow) was a pair of old leather winterized motorcycle pants. They would breath better than Army Surplus rain pants, and the quilted padding inside provided good warmth.
Yeah, that’s out. I’m vegan, so no leather for me.
I’m vegan now, at the time I was vegetarian, and they were a coworkers pants he’d bought in the mid 70s, so I justified it as reuse rather than buying new products.
I hear that. I’ve got a down sleeping bag that I feel the same way about. Still kinda makes me feel bad though.
