Yeah, maybe so, but on the flip side it must be amazing to you that I got as far as I did before you intervened with your slightly defective pressure gauge. Fireball

That'll do it. I was running about 20 or 22lbs in my TKC-80's and had no problems whatsover, but 60 in a Gripster would prolly put me on my arse soon enough Karl

I use a woven scarf like thing that's best described as a tube that goes around your neck; they must be called something. You can find them at skiing and backpacking stores. Bogdan

The Aerostich Windtriangle does the trick for me, If you get the one with UltraSuede backing, you can use it through a broader temperature range than the one that is backed with fleece. On really, really cold days (well below freezing), I use a polypro balaclava. I don't use the one with the neoprene nose piece because it seems to direct your breath right into your face shield.

Not to be a buzz kill, but if you didn't survive a serious get off, you wouldn't be around to write a letter saying the suit didn't help that much. So the only people writing letters are the lucky\happy survivors. Having said that, I have the Darien jacket and pants and wear both every time I ride. I am very happy with them. Like most of us, I don't expect them to guarentee that I will survive any get off, just trying to reduce my chances of injury and hopefully increasing the survival odds. Also looking for comfort, warmth, ability to keep dry, quality, longevity, blah, blah, blah... In a related note, there's some Volvo sites that have some amazing survival stories about Volvo's. After reading the testomonials you'll be ready to dump your current cage and pick up a brick, unless of course you're already cruising around in a Mercedes or some other rolling safety cage. -Ed

Yes, I realize that. The point I was making is that there ARE crash stories about the 'stitch, and not any of the other brands. That is pretty surprising don't you think? I don't know if it's becuase of liability worries or just the fact that no one has come out of a high speed slide with just minor injury or who knows ??? Karl
