GEAR COMPARISON/COMMENTS

quocunque jeceris stabit
I use the following kit;
Summer (hot) 2 piece Strike (perforated) Frank Thomas. 12 months old
Cool weather 2 piece Belstaff (second hand) 3 years old approx
Winter Swift - Euro jacket/ Akito Leather bottoms. 5 years old both
Oversuit - One piece Frank Thomas unlined (12 months old)

Undersuits
EDC 2 piece undersuit
EDC wind blocker top
winter - Cycling leggings (ribbed and warm), with padded arse for extra comfort.

Boots
Hein Gericke - Sport/Tour waterproof 6 months old -no leaks
Sidi - Evo Rain (left foot is nearly worn out) 5 years old - no leaks

Gloves
Summer - Frank Thomas strike summer
Winter - Swift Hurricane - still waterproof and warm (age 5 years)

Can't really complain about any of the kit, The swift jacket's velcro is pretty useless and became u/s after 12 months of use, and it now leaks on the inner elbows after a bit of rain (might tompson water seal this bit).

Helmet
