Prepping for Winter - Florida Style
#12
My name is Dennis and I am a chaps wearer. There is a lot of people on this board (in the general section not the Fl crew) that poke fun at a$$less chaps ( first, if they covered your a$$ they would be pants) but when they temp is below 40 degrees and you ride 26 miles on I95 to get to work they help keep you warm.

+1 I would rather ride in 95 degrees than in 55 degrees. 75mph in 55 degrees is cold wind chill. Hell, any temps below 70 is cold to me. I prefer putting $$ into my comfort rather than into bike bling. And I also agree with a previous post.....chaps with an azz in them are known as pants.

Thanks. Just wanted someone else's opinion before I went and wasted money.
As for the gloves - got me some like this back last December:

Yep, get a good pair of gloves that have thinsulate in them. Got a pair last year for the ride to Bike Week in March, Temps at the house was upper 30's low 40's when I headed out. Hands stayed warm all day, no problems.
