how do the Kathmandu and Air Shell perform in the summer heat?
Thanks for the info, Zygmund. I've always wondered which BMW gear is really worth the $ and haven't taken the plunge yet. Being here in the Pacific Northwest, rain is a big deal. I was thinking Streetguard, so this is good info. How high a temperature would you say each piece is capable of performing well in? We get some pretty extreme heat once we cross into the California Central valley here....
P.S. I've been using BMG pioneer pants and an Olympia Jacket for rain this winter....and they did great. But my commute is only 30 minutes.
Bumping Slowride's question...
How are these makes/models of jackets/pants for South Florida summers (think all day riding in sticky nastiness-humid and hot as hell with occasional/heavy showers)?
Any other recommendations here? So far I see BMW Airshell and Streetguard, and also Firstgear's Kathmandu jacket with their TPG pants.
Thanks in advance.
That's right, you don't have to pay for BMW gear to get good stuff for your money.I use Firstgear's Kathmandu jacket with their TPG pants at probably half the price of the BMW gear, yet it works just as well. The gear avaliable today is so much better than even 10 years ago.
Personally, I am not really impressed with BMW gear. It is good, but over priced. For example,
I bought the AirFlow jacket and pants last year. The Airflow stuff is great for about 8 of the 12 months I ride, but my zipper failed today. The part of the zipper you hold with your finger and thumb to zip and unzip broke. It looks like a design flaw. ...
