Howdie,
I usually wear my leathers, however, as per this time of year, I'm off on the europeon tour... and this year is 12 days biking in Spain... going over some familiar routes and new routes, can't wait.
Now, last year I wore my (**** Poor) RST Black textiles which I bought 4 years ago when I first started riding. They've served a purpose BUT never been impressed, bad fit really now... and falling apart.
So, on the look out for something in a textiles that has the following (if it exists).
1). Jacket and Pants attached with good quality zip
2). Want them in a grey/black/blue if possible similar to below, however I need around 50% grey just to keep heat away.
3). Decent water proofing. Don't need fancy Goretex BUT if I et caught in an hours rain, something that will keep me 90% dry?
4). Comfy... not bothered about back armour as I use a Forcefield 4... but decent elbow armour and knee armour etc.
5). Padding in the ass region if possible.. hips or anywhere around there... not a massive one, but deffo a bonus if they do.
Pretty much it... currently look along the lines of these from REV'It... Sand 2's... quite a nice cut, seems to have a lot I want etc...
Budget wise, don't want to spend more than £500 tops on textiles as like I say, it's only more for tours in hot countries, otherwise I'd wear my leathers.
Any recomendations from anyone?
