1 pc leathers

[biggaz]

i finally went and splashed out on a set of 1 pc leathers today, i look cool as a frozen penguin until i cum to try to get them off.

its getting my shoulders out that is the main problem, a dislocated shoulder later and im free

does anone else have this problem on brand spankin new leathers ?

My used 2nd hand pair was just the same. You end up jumping and jiggling to get everything tucked in and zipped up, then you realise that you need a wee

You're mad in this weather. I can just about go out in my leather jacket. It's not so bad when you get moving but where i live you're average speed is 30mph behind a car. Can't imagine the full suit tho.

I tweaked my back trying to get my leathers off in the shop for the first time. Still reckon I could've done with a bigger size cos they're a bit baggy now.


And yes leathers are crazy in this heat. Wouldn't feel safe in owt else tho.

[biggaz]

im sort of hopin with it being new leather theyll settle and get easier to move in.....
i think short journies its ok with just normal everyday clothes but if im going anywhere far than leathers are a necessity, personal preference tho at the end of the day.

[Jebus]

yeah, id wear leathers no matter what the heat wouldnt feel safe in anything else. but that are a git to get off, in the shop tried on trousers and they were a pig to get off only had em on 2 mins and they were stuck

I'd rather be cool and alert than hot and sluggish.

You can get undersuits which help them slide on and off easier - someone might have a link.

[biggaz]

might be good to look at if anyone can get me a link plz

shorts and tshirt for teh win

leathers are a bit of a bugger when u first get them, now dont take this a gospel but it worked for me, i went out in the rain and got my leathers wet and wore them for about 2 hours of riding til they dried off a bit and they seemed to fit that little bit better - tis probably a load of old bollocks but it worked for me and a couple of thousand miles later the leathers still look and feel brand new

..not sure if this idea will work but you could give it a try.

You could covering yourself in talcum powder before you slide into your suit.. It may not work, but I hear that that it works well when you try getting into 1 piece PVC suits

or you could try baby oil....

I wear full leathers in London, yes it's hot but I feel it's necessary.

Break them in by doing the housework, hoovering, dusting etc. I did to try and get used to the ball splitting pain of when you over reach with your arms

It also works well for breaking in helmets, gloves and boots. My wife just thought I was plain old mad, I was laying in bed watching a DVD at the time whilst fully kitted out

Chicken flap, some windmilling of arms and a lot of grimacing while in a semi-squat position.

Don't look so cool now, do you Mr Onepiece?

[dainesefreak]

Undersuits are the way to go, I've got a couple of these

Extreme Racing

I also have one of these;

Cool Suit

Sound Distribution were doing them at half price and the material is lighter weight than the Extreme suits. Both work well though and I use them under my leather jacket and jeans now in hot weather.
