I’ve been asked from a friend what I want to xmas and as we all know leather are the safest to textiles. But my leathers get cold and in this weather also wet.
I was wondering if there is a jacket which I can purchase which is warm, waterproof and luminous (yellow jacket), which I can wear over my leather jacket.
There is a place in Enfield which I believe can get them tailored, but I have been informed is expensive.
If I was to get one made I would have three piece of material.
1st would be a luminous for safety and waterproof
2nd would be some kind of wind proof, or thin layer of wool, sponge (because to keep warm you have to create a air gap between clothes)
3rd would be cotton which is breathable… or tbh may not need this.
Also the thickness would be thin to allow movement.
Is there anywhere I can purchase this… I’m sure i would also help others?
Try any build centre or ya local market loads of hi vis jackets n trousers about lined/unlined around the 25 quid mark 4 each do the job a treat over leathers
Don’t worry about breathable - if you’re putting it on over leathers it won’t matter or help you… try your local plant/tool hire shop as well, they always seem to have quite good jackets
Good industrial Jackets in there with liners or not, designed for construction work in the winter they are waterproof to +90mph (tested ) and windproof and WARM! About 40 quid for the bommer jacket style, go in with your leathers and get one that fits snuggly over the top. They have good collars too that will tuck up under your helmet.
I bought a Dickies XL bomber Jacket, fits over the top of my leather jacket, had it for a couple of years. About £26 from local Wickes. 100% water and wind proof. Very warm. Good for cold wet mornings and riding home at night when it is still dark, although turn up to a bike meet and you are bound to get some joker make a comment. Sod them, be seen, stay safe and stay warm. No need to spend £££ on textiles.
yes mate lined ones waterproof, and most plumb/build centres got tons of stuff in plus cheep fleeces etc, er…can you guess who Im driving for now :D:D:D
