Aerik Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Nothing wrong with Carharts. I don't care if I look like a retard, if it lets me comfortably ride all winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with Carharts, probably more protection than the leathers. Besides we all know only the real riders are out below 50 degrees.

ReconRat Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 When it gets REALLY cold...1. I only see BMWs2. I actually have to use the choke3. I actually start using Winter gloves and boots4. I start wearing 5 or 6 layers5. I'll start using the baklava or a scarf or both6. I think about switching to a full face helmet (got three new ones)7. I start going around puddles and wet spots, they might be frozen8. Ice forms on the inside of the face shield when I breath9. I put hands on the engine at every stop10. The tires and suspension never warm up no matter how far I goI'm only at between 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 of 10 items so far. Not so cold yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) I'm going to get a couple of pairs of flannel lined jeans. Kinda hard to find.Just wear sweatpants under you jeans.For me these ATV grip covers are the diffrence between riding up to the first snow fall and riding all winter.

jporter12 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'm going to get a couple of pairs of flannel lined jeans. Kinda hard to find.I just wanted to revive this thread, now that we're SICK AND TIRED of the winter...Last I knew, you could get the flannel lined jeans at The Anderson's. I believe they were Carhart branded..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
