I'm new to riding (March 2013) -- just took my second bike bonding course with the FZ6 2 weeks ago in pouring rain, and I was wearing non-waterproof gloves and jeans.
My first stab at riding kit includes:
Suggestions for ANY brand pants (do I pack jeans or khakis to change into) vs. overpants (strip off the layers when I get to work) would be helpful. I'm 5'9", 200lbs and a 38" jeans at the hips, 41' measurement at the belly button -- so I gotta find something that's good for less than skinny men.
BTW, you may notice I like the Tourmaster stuff -- it's not top of the line, but it's affordable and I've not had issues with my jacket or boots. Gonna write a review about both on the site this week, if they're not already written.
Thanks!
