Figured out the TSG cold weather freezing fog up issue.  Keep helmet on and visor down prior to going out doors 2-3 minutes.  Don’t open the visor out doors.  If the fog comes back breath heavily to thaw the inside of the visor to recover crystal clear vision.  Keep large hood over helmet to counter below freezing and wind chill. 

Yeah, but isn't it annoying af to have to huff and puff unnaturally every few minutes? I'm also skeptical this will work for more than 15-30 minutes, but wish you success. 

This issue has been covered before so these topics may help:

I suspect that you would be riding in a paddy wagon to a holding cell in a police station for being involved in a domestic terrorist attack. 🙂

ive seen this only once last summer during a weekend holiday.  some joker did ride a small displacement 2stroke motocrosser on the bike path for a short distance.  luckily it was only for show and they put it back into their pickup.  did create quite a stir though....

Sounds like they fit under your pants at least.  I’ll have to wear mine outside my pants like captain underwear with the black cape. I’ll look awesome.

 

I’ve got a little inner thy bruise I didn’t know about.   My wife said what’s wrong with your leg.

If you get those and they do well I may join you ! As in 'buy a set too', rather than try and get in yours !

Currently I am going with loose tail bone and hip pads that slot in under the Leatt bodysuit, and get held in place by the kidney belt on that and the elastic material.

Putting those in, and checking they haven't fallen out is a bit of a faff, for just one small advantage of being able to piss in the woods without having to do a full de-kit and trousers-down manoeuvre !

High speed group ride, at night, 45mph/72kph, inadequate spacing/formation, some with inadequate lighting, narrow two way bike/walking path, obstacles on either side, big rocks, large diameter metal poles, wrong side of the path......

Elastic mesh type clothing, with plastic guards, might not be effective.

Wondering if the strap was used, but not tightened enough.

A few videos have shown helmets coming off.

It would have to be VERY loose to make it over his jawbone ! :/

Those shorts fit under my regular pants no problem. Except that I’ve got a little extra fat around the edges already and now that makes me look like I have a huge butt.

:roflmao:
