Too true, they are the dogs b*****ks... But remember to proof them every 18 - 24 months... Ours have just started to let in water...Got soaked through in the lakes a couple of weeks ago... But it always rains in the lakes...
I have the fleece as well (blue of course) , but for summer wear I use a Belstaff airblast web jacket.. Its like riding in a tee shirt (but with all the protection of Knox armour and kevlar weave airtex.) Always wear leather jeans, but coulc do with a pair of braces, as I have lost a couple of inches round the waist and with the XX jacket they tend toi go south each time I get on & off the bike...Wot a thought...ROFL (just need a zip put in the XX jacket to match the leathers)
But I must admit, the service from Honda jackets is excellent (they made Jans a custom size as he is short with big boobs, and short arms...).. Always recommend them to our bird riding friends..
Glad you like em too,
Best wishes,
Rolfy & Jan
ps.. Just got back from the fine food & drink festival in Eastnor castle in herefrdshire... Brill day. good weather, and loads of Kangaroo & Ostrich butties... (plus loads of free booze to taste as well)
