On the 2nd day of the big trip, it is of course raining. We rode for a few hundred miles, and I was sure hypothermia was going to kick my ass, so we pulled into a hotel to use the dryer, get into some dry clothes. My buddy has a M2R rainsuit, of course he is nice and dry, but I dont get to buy my clothes at any old store, there is nothing big enough that I have found yet.
I was wearing my M2R rallycross waterproof jacket, and yes it is perfectly waterproof, just chilly even with layers. Just fyi, the temp was about 5 degrees celsius, just warm enough that your balls dont quite freeze to your leg or the tank.
So this is the dont tell anyone part. I was wearing jeans and a set of heavy carhartts, plus good boots. We had another hundred and a half to go, and the rain was getting worse. I ended up with nice dry jeans, a great big garbage bag over each boot and leg, tucked into my belt, then covered by the carhartts. Imagine how proud all the grade 2 kids would be!
Anyway, no one knew, I stayed dry and warm, and was able to finish the day without freezing to death.
go ahead.
