Perforated leather suits

Tue Apr 22, 2008 8:12 pm

Are they cold in winter, even with a liner?
If you were to buy a suit to be worn in Summer and winter what would u get perf or non perf?

Do you have any choice these days? at the end of the day in winter your leathers will be cold perforated or not.

I wear my perforated suit all year round and don't get *too* cold in the winter, and the quilted liner keeps me warm on those mornings. I think it all depends on what you're doing though - I used to ride on the freeway at 6:00 am in winter and no matter what I wore it was effin cold. Now I ride on Sundays and nothing much worries me.

thermal undies are your friend

like blurr said; thermal stuff rocks.
more important, layers.
i learnt this off my mates when riding in NZ.
2 layers of thermal stuff should do the trick here.

perforated is cold man. throw in the stretch panels on sports style apparel & it gets colder.

a product from under armour is unreal. choose from items to keep you cool or to keep you warm.
i reckon the best product available in the market today. & at half the cost of better known brands.
avail from selected sports shops or better still, just google it or try flea bay.


apart from buying a winter style waterproof type jacket, throw a 600 grade denier waterproof jacket over the top of your leathers.
may not look cool but who cares when you are dry & warm?
