Hein Gericke Blizzard Rain Pants

Mark Holmes, 09 January 2012 17:26

Hein Gericke Blizzard Rain Pants, £29.99Miles covered/time: 2000/two months What’s good: For autumn riding, I tend to go with a leather trousers/Gore-Tex jacket combo unless it’s tipping it down with rain. I find textile trousers make me slide around on the seat too much, so leather bottoms and this pair of waterproof over-trousers as a standby are my chosen solution. ...

Chris Newbigging, 10 September 2010 17:41

Berik 8320 one-piece suit, £499.99 Miles covered/time: Three months/1000 milesWhat’s good? Fit, style, price and protection.
