Riding Gear, One Piece Suit for Das Rally 2016?

[jsoque]

Cousins,

With the upcoming 2016 Das Rally in Hamburg, NY, wondering if anyone else is thinking in advance about warm weather clothing and this option, and
‘Will you use your One-Piece Suit during your trip?”

I have an Olympia Motosports, Avenger One Piece Suit. I’ve worn it in balmy May 70 degree weather, all the way down to 29 deg and a snow storm on Lake Ontario, in March.

Distance 510 miles, S.E., Long Island, New York, Temps 85-88 deg, Night and Day riding.

Will you use a one piece suit on your trip, and open up the vents like crazy during our anticipated 88-90 degree weather during your ride to and from Hamburg, NY, and the 2016 Das Rally, or Two-Piece and Vent Mesh your riding apparell?

Looking out for answers!

Jim

Mesh Rider Gear

I just ordered a new riding suit from Revzilla specifically for summer riding in the midwest including traveling to the National Rally in Hamburg. I selected the Klim Induction Jacket and Voyager Air Pants. I picked those because I have been very satisfied with the Klim gear I bought for riding in colder weather. Good protection and great air flow. I took a test ride in beautiful Southern Indiana and the combination worked great. Highly recommend both Klim and Revzilla.

I'll be wearing my Aerostich 1-piece. We are heading out Saturday, heading north along the top of Lake Superior where lows are in the 50's. It's the best that I have for all weather conditions.

Will I be hot at 94 degrees? Yes! Will I be protected? Yes!

Interesting read about wearing a jacket vs not wearing a jacket

As the article suggests, I use base-layer tops and bottoms under my riding gear and it makes a significant difference (Klim and BMW). The beauty of it is that it has benefits on both hot and cold days. ;-)
