Here is a question for you guys with more experience. I am looking for new gear (pants/jacket) for the winter, and would like to get leather (leather envy, I guess). My question is how warm are most non-perforated leathers?
Houston winters are not bad: most mornings are 40F, with the coldest in the mid 30's, and my commute is 25mi at 70mph or so. Would a simpe shirt or polypro layer under the leathers be sufficient for that?
Last winter was my first riding, and I currently wear a mesh jacket & pants. I know from last year that the jacket & its liner didn't cut it on the cold mornings. I have only had the pants since summer, so I don't know what they'll be like. I do know that bluejeans didn't work!
Thanks for any help.
