Clothing choice

[upperdeane]

Hi,

Thanks for all our help recently with helmets, now i'm moving onto clothing.

I've been along to the local bike store thisafternoon to have a look at what is on offer and i'm confused! They seem to have everything from all-in-one leightweight rain suits, 2 piece leightweight rain suits, all the way upto pretty thick and expensive jackets and trousers.

Help ....what do you all wear for quadbiking in Winter and Summer ?

I have just bought some waterproof and breathable army surplus clothing (jacket and trousers) the jacket had to go back (as it would have been a good fit on Danny) for a smaller one .
The problem is that you sweat a lot so need breathable clothing, bike/motocross gear is good but expensive .
I got the army stuff which is lightweight for the summer when you still need waterproofs and good for winter because you can put warmer clothing underneath .

Thanks ...

I think the "NATO Olive Drab Poncho" is rather fetching and perfect for a quad :) http://www.worldofsurplus.com/ishop/1061/shopscr574.html

I presume you went for something like the "Brand New Dpm Waterproof Suit" http://www.worldofsurplus.com/ishop/1061/shopscr1482.html ?
