Well its that time of year.... My birthdate. The day when my wife goes overboard and showers me with gifts... Well this year I got some new cold weather riding gear and I thought I would pass along my opinions. First is the jacket. Its a Firstgear Kilimanjaro 4.0. The thing is comfy and warm. Almost too warm. I had to stop wearing long sleeve shirts. It has a zip out liner which is a decent jacket by it self. good pockets and ventilation. It has full armor and is waterproof.
Next are the pants. They are Firstgear HT overpants 2.0. Despite what the name sounds like, they are insulated, waterproof pants. They have armor and a zip out liner. The cuffs have good adjustment and they zip up the side to mid thigh.
Today, I ran both through the ringer. It was cold (35) and the road was wet. I stayed warm, to the point I had to open vents. I went ahead and declined on testing the armor. I'll just assume it works and try my best not to use it. Well I hope some find this useful. Sorry its so long winded.
