I just go for some insulated leather work gloves from Walmart, they work fine if I actually wear them, and they're only about 8 dollars. After the accident i always wear them, i had forgotten them and the ground messed my palms and fingers up pretty good. I also wear a cheapo fake leather jacket from Bealls that I got for 30 bucks. I wear a full face helmet mainly because the wind really affects my eyes. Its a pain because I have to constantly take off and put on my glasses. Does anyone here where contacts, and whats you opinions. I'm thinking of getting contacts and a half helmet, and get a pair of those sunglasses with the foam pads that act like goggles and look good. A good pair of Ariat boots is a must for me, I cant stand tennis shoes, hard on the toes when you shift and they don't look very good with wranglers. About a month ago the temp here dropped to around 9 degrees from a sudden front. I had ridden by bike to a friends house and when I finally left at night the temp had plummeted. That was probably the coldest Ive been in my life. My hands and chest were fine, but I was only wearing jeans. When I got home I couldn't feel my legs and then they started to hurt real bad. I agree with the bicycle part. When on a motorcycle going around 30mph and its around 40 degrees outside, it feels like its around 30 because the wind chill factors.
