yoos Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 A lot of EUC riders, myself included, wear motorcycle jackets. They fit our needs well. However, 99% of these jackets are short. My thighs/groin grow cold from all the wind in the standing position. Rain is also a problem. Does anyone use or know of a kilt/wrap/skirt solution to this problem? I envision something roughly knee-length, waterproof or resistant, drapey enough, and reasonably easy to put on and off (to be worn/attached under the jacket, e.g. at the waist or belt loops). There are a few long mc jackets, but hard to source, especially at reasonable prices. I also like the versatility of having an extra item better. It would be great to have somwthing like a stowable, ultralight down jacket, uniqlo-style. I also like the esthetics of a skirt better, it lends a more planted silhouette to the rider, than a long parka. I have seen hiking skirts, unisex rainskirts and a vast choice of women's winter skirts. This is the closest to what I want (but I want less expensive, preferably with velcro to avoid entanglement or ripping in a crash). I don't want the expense, hassle and esthetics of overpants, as well as waterproof mc pants. For commuting purposes I would prefer to just throw the skirt and Leatts over my work pants. Here are some images to convey the general idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) I think you'll have easier time wrapping a piece of cloth around your waist and calling it a day, than finding a ready solution for this. Though I feel very fond of the whole kilt/skirt idea, it's elegant. Edited September 19, 2022 by Constantine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
