GothamMike Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I just put the liner in my MC jacket. I’m wearing Hillbilly full fingered gloves. I found thin glove liners on Amazon. I may need a balaclava under my helmet soon. I need to keep my helmet face shield fog-free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I just retrofitted my full face helmet to add a deflection shield over the nose and mouth area. I was getting some fogging and blurry sections. I used some extremely thin high density foam (L200, I believe). I formed it with heat to add curves and tucked the ends under the cheek pads to hold it in place. It’s super soft and flexible so I'm not worried about getting hurt from it in the event of a crash. Most of my breath goes outs the bottom of the helmet now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangasaur Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I did an hour ride today with jeans, a lazy rolling jacket, gloves and the TSG pass and I was warm for about 90% of the ride (45 degrees with crazy wind). I was surprised how warm my head stayed in the pass and the lazy rolling neck comes up pretty high so not sure when I'll need to wear a neck warmer or balaclava. My biggest issue right now is the wind cutting through my jeans and finding some kind of wrist protection that is compatible with the lazy rolling jacket/hoody. I have the largest hillbillys coming so hopefully that will fix half the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fleece-lined and have some stretch which is nice for riding. https://www.target.com/p/wrangler-men-s-atg-synthetic-straight-fit-slim-side-zip-5-pocket-pants/-/A-84287153 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexible so you can sit and stand. Not baggy like cargo pants, which allow the wind to enter and lets your pads slide around. adding a base layer (thermal long johns) should keep the wind and cold off your skin. You may need to go with MC winter pants if you need more protection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothamMike Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yesterday was in the low 40s, I had hillbilly's with thin liners on. My fingers still got cold. Last winter I wore Seirus Snowboard gloves with built in wrist guards, but the outer shell ripped apart and let in the wind, but they very warm. More Snowboard companies are out with gloves that have built in wrist guards, let's hope they are more durable. I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have to sew a set of neoprene toe warmers into the finger part, but the combo has worked well for me (and it's easy to expose the fingers to operate the phone). A super important thing: they're waterproof! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothamMike Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Just pulled a pair of those lined Wrangler adventure pants out of the dryer, put on a base layer, grabbed my Nikon, rolled down to a pocket beach, left my Helmet on and took this: I was toasty, even though the wind was blowing.

Hellkitten Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 https://www.bausch.com/our-products/safety-and-industrial-cleaning-products/disposable-lens-cleaning-stations/fogshield-xp-lens-cleaning-station I tried these anti fogging wipes tonight. Highly recommend. Any moisture that collected inside my helmet never fogged up. You apply on both sides of your shield then buff when it’s dry. Good for eight hours. They come in individually packed wipes, I used one and stuck it in a ziplock bag. I bet it’s good for many uses. I paid $4.00 for a pack of ten. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothamMike Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 I found my Seirus snowboarding gloves. They are in good shape, for some reason I thought they had fallen apart. They have wrist protection on both the front and back. A velcro cinch tie to keep the drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
