#126497 kena48 (User) 07 Road Star 1700 Junior Boarder Posts: 152 Warm Riding Suit at Good Price 2 Months ago   The best price I could find was $130.00 and free shipping. From this website: http://www.tonker.com/store/thermogear_1-piece_suit.html This suit was a lot better quality than I expected and it was on my doorstep in 48 hrs. I read one guy's on line review that said it was good down to at least 20 degrees on the interstate. It fits well - It's a large, and I'm 200 at 5'10". After some good commuting, I will let everyone know how it holds up.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #126526 DrumDon (User) Real men have twins!

If it gets colder I have to look into something like that.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #126682 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1116 Re:Warm Riding Suit at Good Price 2 Months ago   I have this one herein red and I love it, its got to get fairly cool to ride in it, I find that somewhere below 45 starts to work and I haven't found the other end and it gets cold here, I bought a full face helmet for winter riding for the first time this year. You can get a great first gear on clearance from your local shop usually.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1549 Re:Warm Riding Suit at Good Price 2 Months ago   I use a one-piece lightweight snowmobile suit. It's tremendous and will roast you if wearing it over 35 degrees. It's a North-49 Arctic Trail One Piece Snowmobile Suits, and I see it's under $90 still at: http://www.fcsurplus.ca/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=190&cat=Snowmobile+Suits+%26+Snow+Shoes This isn't where I bought mine, but I think it was the same price, and I did buy it from Canada because it was cheaper I'll add that I do ride year round, and have used this suit below 20 degrees Farenheit lots of times at Interstate speeds, so the windchill must have been pretty chilly, and I stayed delightfully warm inside the suit.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #126723 Heavy (User) If you're going to play - play to win!

I used the suit at 30 degrees at 70 MPH. That's a 9 degree wind chill factor. It was very comfy and I believe I could go down a little colder with it. It takes some getting used to to get out of it, but the zippers and flaps are good quality. It's designed not to have a coat underneath. At that speed, I could feel the wind comming in around the sewn soles of my new cowboy boots. Also, my Harly $70.00 Gloves were at their limit and I could feel the wind getting in at the fingers. I used a think face mask (15 bucks from Harley store) and my dirt bike goggles which REALLY helped. If you want to commute in cold weather and don't want to spend 800 bucks for a quality suit, this is a good product.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #134795 smith1j (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 22 Re:Update - Warm Riding Suit 1 Month ago   Actually running 70mph in 30 degree weather is -5 degrees windchill. Here is a nice calculator for figuring wind chill. http://www.springfrog.com/weather/wind-chill.htm   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
