New Gear

[Beemer]

I received some new gear the other day. A back protector to replace the solid foam protector that came with the jacket. The original would probably do good job of cushioning the impact in a spill but it doesn't breath, makes my back all sweaty. If you have one like that that I highly recommend this one by Alpinestars because it's light weight, should absorb impacts well and best of all … it allows air to get to your back and keep you cooler and drier. It fits most jackets also in case you were wondering.

I wanted some decent (mild) winter gloves made of leather that had sliders on the palms and found these for very little. They provide decent protection and a little warmth. 

I needed some new night glasses to cut down on glare from headlights and provide some eye protection for when I lift my face shield while moving and these looked pretty good. They fit nicely, don't feel or look cheap and should do the job nicely.

Nice! I'd like to see how the gloves turn out.

I took a ride on Wednesday with @DewMan and the back protector was a plus. Of course you don't get a lot of air hitting the back in the first place but I can honestly say that with the gobs of venting it did feel like the hot air that normally builds up underneath a foam protector was non existent and I could barely tell it was there either, it's so light. I feel confident it will absorb any impact and hold up much better in a slide than regular dense foam also. 

I can't comment on the gloves, I didn't wear them because it wasn't quite cold enough but the temps are dropping now so maybe the next ride.
