Hello all,
I'm finally taking the plunge to get some decent touring clothing and upgrade from the cruiser gear and Frog Togs I currently use. As a result, I thought I'd ask the forum for some opinions on gear. I ride on-road only so no need for off-road/adventure gear and I don't get on my bike when the temperature drops below 45-50F. This means I predominately during late spring/summer/early fall here in PA.
I'd appreciate any opinions for a waterproof jacket with zip out liners, good ventilation and CE protection. There seems to be lots of options and suppliers of jackets and pants out there so it's a little confusing. I like to buy quality but I don't want to break the bank buying a $999 jacket either. What is everyone using? Any brands or models to stay away from? Which features are useful to look for?
I appreciate any guidance the forum can provide!
Thanks.
Ron
