new gear!

Administrator

So I finally got some gear today I have been needing for a while.
Got it off ebay and I know most figure junk. Well I was motivated by price and so cheap was good.
Got them today for an ebay store called jackets4bikes.
I got overpants and gloves.
Textile pant and it is thick! If there are cheap areas on these pants, I sure have not seen them. Well stitched and heavy built. Stiff right now but they will break in. Only downside is the connecting zipper for jackets, zips on the wrong side! Oh well.

The gloves are a mesh/leather. Nice fitting and will be nice in the summer.
Nice carbon fiber looking knuckle protector. Cant wait till the weather here does not suck and I can actually ride!

The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

Sounds like Christmas either came early, or late for you.

How about some pictures, or a link to your new dud's.

If the zipper is on the wrong side, it's probably a womans jacket. Is it loose in the chest? lol

On no, not that. There is a zipper that connects the pants to the jacket to kinda make it one unit. The pants zip from the other direction. Just brand differences.
